Appendix 1—figure 1. Heatmap of pairwise Pearson correlation values of all candidate landscape-scale covariates for the ungulates models; wolf: predicted use of the landscape by the wolf, lynx: predicted use of the landscape by the lynx, open: landscape openness, conif: % share of coniferous tree species, decid: % share of deciduous tree species, fheight: forest height, reserv: density of protected areas, elev: elevation, dsetta: distance to all settlements, dsettm: distance to major settlements, droads: distance to main roads, dedge: distance to forest edge, pois: density of tourist infrastructure.

When selecting covariates for the final models we ensured that the Pearson correlation value for all pairs of included covariates was lower than 0.7.
