Appendix A. Tables showing (A1) model structures of GLMMs fitted to each response variable for the fire regime and isolation studies with the inclusion of “Reserve” as a random effect in all models and (A2) the number of arboreal mammals recorded in the fire regime and isolation studies.
Table A1. Model structures of GLMMs fitted to each response variable for the fire regime and isolation studies with the inclusion of “Reserve” as a random effect in all models, and in the fire regime study an additional observational level random effect was included for the total number of all arboreal mammals as a response variable.
