Comparison of multiple linear regression models of jaguar density from 80 sites in North and South America based on values of Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC).

Presented are ten best-fitting multiple linear regression models based on 21 spatial variables (three anthropogenic variables, 13 environmental variables, an indicator variable for North and South America (NA-SA), and four variables measuring camera trap effort); definitions of the predictive variables are in S1 and S2 Tables. Density studies were conducted between 2002 and 2014. Bold indicates the model used for spatial prediction of jaguar density.
