Figure 5: Partial-effects plots for the most parsimonious model of each subset modelled.

From: Wildlife population trends in protected areas predicted by national socio-economic metrics and body size

Figure 5

Data are shown for (a) mammals, (b) birds, (c) Africa, (d) Europe. Dashed lines are 95% credibility intervals based on MCMC sampling with 10,000 samples. They show the relationship between each fixed effect: (a) body mass, HDI, road density; (b) body mass, Gini index, HDI; (c) body mass, class, road density, mid year; and (d) body mass, HDI, class, land-use change (Human Impact Index (HII) in 25 km), and population trends when all others are held constant. For categorical variables (class) dots indicate the estimated partial effect sizes of each factor level, and error bars show 95% credible intervals. HDI, Human Development Index; MCMC, Markov-Chain Monte Carlo.
