Table 3.
Models selected to explain the frequency of visits, their duration, and number of individuals seen in badgers, red deer, and wild boars: for each significant explanatory variable, the table gives the modalities compared, the estimate of odds-ratio with 95% confidence interval and P-value of the Wald test.
