Also, for S. venaticus , the global model was the best to explain the species occurrence in the landscape (Table S5, Supplemental Material). The single variables that had an effect on the occurrence ofS. venaticus was the percentage of Forest, Anthr_open_areas, and Urban_areas, all of which positively influenced the occurrence of the species (Table 3, Figure 5C). On average, areas with higher percentages of forest and urban areas have a 74% increase in the species’ probability of occurrence, while in open anthropic areas, the probability increased by 73%.
