Table 6.

Best global model beta regression results of the influence of latitude, altitude and human impact for adult Chlorocebus a) ratio of thigh to body length, b) ratio of leg to body length, and c) ratio of foot to body length, using Country as a random effect. Pseudo-R2 value to assess goodness-of-fit is only for fixed-effects, and does not include the random effect of country.
