Table 5.
Models selected to explain the frequency of interactions between badgers (B), red deer (RD), and wild boars (WB): 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.
| Interaction | Explanatory variable and modality | OR and 95% confidence interval | P-value of Wald test | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B–B | Site: baited place | 1,367.2 [222.4–13,146] | <0.001 | |

| B–WB | Site: baited place | 74.15 [5.218–1,053.5] | 0.001 | |
| RD–WB (waterholes only) | Season: spring | 539.1 [0.909–4,000,000] | 0.046 | |

The reference levels are waterholes (for the variable site) and winter or autumn–winter (for the variable season).
