Table 2 The Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) results for each selected climate predictor in the best-fitting model. Each predictor was removed and compared to the original model using ANOVA. The p-value was then calculated given that the test statistic of the LRT is asymptotically approximating a χ2 distribution. Tm and Rm denote the temperature and rainfall predictors in the mth month of the year.
