Table 4.

Best model regression results of the influence of latitude, altitude and human impact on adult Chlorocebus a) body size, b) body length, c) thigh/body length, d) leg/body length, and e) foot/body length. Posterior means (parameter estimate or b), 95% credibility intervals, and P values are estimated using MCMC with significant values in bold. Data for insignificant interaction terms are not included in the table. Since random effect estimates did not overlap with zero, both the marginal R2GLMM (assessing the fit of fixed effects) value and conditional R2GLMM (assessing the fit of fixed and random effects) are used to report goodness of fit.
