FIG. A1. Cubic polynomial trend surface used in simulations to genreate the values of X2, an unmeasured nonhabitat variable that was not estimable in simulations. Surface plotted is for the expected value of X2 = 2000 + 4.5LONG + 7.5LAT + 0.1LONG2 0.2LAT2 + 0.00LONG3 + ; with
uniformly distributed (-900, 900), LAT and LONG were uniformly distributed latitude and longitude coordinates (
= 0, range = -50 to 50).
