Estimates ± SE on the logit scale for the covariates used to model the occupancy dynamics (ψ0, γ, ε, p) of the root vole metapopulation.

NOTE: Estimates from univariate models used to identify covariates for the multivariate analyses and from the best multivariate model are shown. Provided is also the sign of the a priori predicted effects. All covariates in the best model had at strong impact, i.e. 95% CI (β ±1.96xSE) do not overlap 0; * denotes covariates with strong univariate impact and thus included in the multivariate models; PERIM = perimeter; DISTML = distance to mainland; DISTS = distance to nearest source population; PFOOD = proportion of food and cover; WMAX = maximum water level; WMIN = minimum water level; POPML = population density index for the mainland the previous season; POPISL = population density index for the island the previous season; WEEK = week of the year; WEEK∧2 = week of the year on a quadratic form.
