Habitat partitioning among sympatric tinamous in semiarid woodlands of central Argentina
Table 1
Top single-species occupancy models (ΔAIC ≤ 2) used to evaluate the effects of climate, habitat, anthropic and biotic variables on the probability of occupancy (Ψ) and detection (p) of three sympatric tinamous in the caldén woodland region in central Argentina.
Variables with greater effect (i.e., 95% confidence intervals do not include zero) are marked in bold. Positive (+) and negative (-) signs denote direction of explanatory variables. Variable names refer to temperature seasonality (Tseas), precipitation seasonality (ppseas), enhanced vegetation index (EVI), closed caldén woodlands (closed woodland), open caldén woodlands (open woodland), shrublands (shrubland), and encounter rates of cattle (cattle), Geoffroy’s cat (gcat) and pampas cat (pcat). Covariates influencing the probability of detection correspond to the best model fitted for each tinamou species (see S2 Table); p(general1): p(+autumn-winter, -closed woodland, -shrubland, -human activity, +trail, -trapping effort); p(general2): p(-autumn-winter, +closed woodland, +shrubland, +trail, +trapping effort); p(general3): p(-date, -date2, -open woodland, -human activity, +trapping effort).
