Averaged coefficients and relative importance of the variables included in the best models considered explanatory for MAP detection in Egyptian mongoose in Portugal (H4 - Climate and orography hypothesis). Significance was established at P < 0.05. Variables whose CI95% did not include 0 are indicated in bold.
