Table 2.

Generalized linear models exploring the relationship between human population size and island characteristics on 10 study systems worldwide. (Entries are estimates (± s.e.) and t-values. Significant relationships are in italics (p < 0.05). Area and elevation were log-transformed. The nearest mainland was not transformed, except for Northern New Zealand (square root-transformed) and the Ionian Islands (log-transformed).)
