Table 2.

The coefficients (β) and standard errors (SE) of fixed effects and the variance (σ) of random effects in resource selection functions including risk covariates (predicted probability of encountering a wolf and predicted probability of being killed given an encounter) during calving, late summer, early winter, and late winter seasons for boreal caribou in northeast British Columbia. Nutrient‐poor fen = poor fen, nutrient‐rich fen = rich fen, probability of encountering a wolf = Prob. encounter, probability of being killed given an encounter = Prob. being killed
