The effects of Ancylostoma and Cystoisospora load (eggs/oocysts/g feces), age, and maternal social status on survival to adulthood (at 2 years of age) for less than one‐year‐old juvenile spotted hyenas (N = 84)

Shown are the logistic regression coefficient estimates with their standard errors (SE) and 95% confidence limits in natural log units as well as their conversion into odds ratios with their respective 95% confidence limits (CI), the z‐values and associated p‐values for each parameter and the results of log‐likelihood ratio tests (G) with associated p‐values. Positive (negative) estimates indicate that an increase in the value of the parameter increased (reduced) the survival to adulthood. Survival for juveniles with low maternal rank was lower than for juveniles with high maternal rank.
