Table 2. Reports of bandicoot sightings or scats in regards to backyard variables.

Results of the exact tests for each variable vs. each of the two measures (sightings and droppings) of bandicoot presence in backyards. Values are the exact probability (significance evaluated at α = 0.05) that each contingency table would occur if that particular combination of variables were independent. Note, due to insufficient computer memory for the variable ‘Distance to bushland’ a Chi-square test was performed.
