Estimates of coefficients of standardized variables with respective 95% confidence intervals in parenthesis for the final selected resource selection function model for female elk during anthrax risk season, southwestern Montana, USA, 2014–2017.
| Variable | Estimated coefficient |
|---|---|
| Density of wolf kills | −0.11 (−0.12, −0.09) |
| Elevation | 0.68 (0.65, 0.70) |
| Forest (compared to grassland and shrubland)a | 0.20 (0.17, 0.23) |
| Aspect | −0.62 (−0.66, −0.58) |
| Slope | −0.12 (−0.13, −0.11) |
| Distance to stream | 0.14 (0.13, 0.15) |
| Distance to primary road | −0.55 (−0.57, −0.53) |
| Distance to secondary road | −0.56 (−0.58, −0.54) |
| Distance to tertiary road | −0.26 (−0.27, −0.25) |
