Table 2.
General linear mixed model results of factors that influence probability of capture of sharks for the selected model. Explanatory variables include number of sightings and order of sightings. Significant differences were evaluated with maximum-likelihood ratio index (χ2, p < 0.05; table 1) using a backward selection procedure.
