The full model used trap elevation, slope, aspect, and Euclidean distance (EucDist) to the nearest HWA-infested hemlock tree as explanatory variables for adelgid number caught by a motorized trap. The reduced model used only trap elevation and EucDist as explanatory variables for the number of adelgids caught. For the aspect variable, North was considered the reference variable in the GLM.
