Final path model showing relationships between distance from forest edge, grazing, vegetation structure, and rat capture probability.

<p>Plus/minus symbols at each arrow head show a positive/negative effect, and asterisks denote significance of each path: ***<0.001; **<0.01; *<0.05; ns = not significant. Dotted arrows show non-significant paths, and black arrows show variables which alter the strength of the relationship they feed into (i.e. interaction effects). Note that path coefficients are not directly comparable because of different scales of measurement of predictor variables (distance square root transformed; other variables untransformed) and different link functions for response variables (logit link for rat capture probability; identity link for other variables) used in models.
