Table 2.

Final set of Generalised Linear Models (GLM) tested. The models relate the number of articles dedicated to each snake species retrieved in the analysed articles with the selected independent variables: family, biogeographic realm, and hazard category. The best-fitting model is reported in bold. The table reports the number of parameters in the model (K), the information score of the model (Akaike’s Information Criterion corrected for small sample sizes; AICc), the difference in AICc score between the best model and the model being compared (ΔAICc), and the AICc weight (i.e., the proportion of the total amount of predictive power provided by the full set of models contained in the model being assessed; wAICc).

Model	K	AICc	ΔAICc	wAICc
Biogeographic realm and Hazard category	10	1058.710	0.000	0.991
Hazard category	4	1068.161	9.450	0.009
Biogeographic realm	7	1110.483	51.772	5.675 × 10−12
Family	8	1115.132	56.421	5.552 × 10−13
