Results from a logistic mixed model with random effects of the probability of a badger being trapped in the Kilkenny study area during the study period.

*Wald test of Zone A = Zone B: p = 0.96; referent Zone C.∧Wald test of Season (autumn/winter) x Zone A = Season (autumn/winter) x Zone B: p = 0.63.$Overall the model explained the variation in the dataset in comparison with a null model to a statistically significant extent (Wald χ2 (df: 7) = 24.3; p = 0.001), while the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test indicated no statistically significant lack of fit (Pearson χ2 (df: 4) = 7.39; p = 0.117).
