MS/h: total number of M. spinolai per hour; TAP: total annual precipitation; TWT: mean temperature of the warmest trimester; VC: vegetation cover; BC: cover of bromeliads; RA: mean records of reptiles per month; BA: mean records of birds per month; NMA: mean records of native mammals per month; DMA: mean records of domestic mammals per month; OCA: mean records of Oryctolagus cuniculus per month. The complete model is shown in the top. The selected model with the lowest AIC value is shown in the bottom. Statistically significant p-values in bold.
