For C. thous , the global model was also the most adequate to
explain the variation in occurrence of this canid in the landscape
(Supplementary Material, Table S4). Analyzing the variables separately,
only the percentage of Water did not affect the occurrence of this
species (Table 2). The variables Anthr_open_areas and Urban_areas
positively affected the occurrence of C. thous (Figure 5B),
providing a 73% increase in the probability of occurrence of this
species. On the other hand, the percentage of Forest and
Nat_open_areas negatively affected the occurrence (Figure 5B),
reducing the probability of occurrence by 72%.
