Summary of Generalised Linear Models of movements and location distribution of four GPS-collared leopards outside protected areas in India.

The response variable “Hourly step length” denotes the linear distance between GPS locations with a time interval of one hour. The variable “Distance to house” is the linear distance between GPS locations and the nearest residential house, whereas the “Standardised distance to house” is the difference between observed distances between leopard locations and houses and the expected distances to houses if GPS locations were randomly distributed within the leopard home ranges. The latter variable attains positive values if GPS locations are further away from houses than expected from a random distribution (i.e. avoidance of houses). Explanatory variables are ID (animal ID) and DN (day or night position). NULL  =  null model with no explanatory variables, W =  Akaike weight.
