Table 3. Results from model-averaged coefficients showing parameter estimates from the basic model and the two competing models.
The table consists of the basic model (Model 1), the model consisting of social group type (Model 2) and the model consisting of age group (Model 3) as additional factors influencing FGM concentrations in African elephants at Mpala Ranch.
