  1. Results are from a Bayesian comparison of means (i.e., an analog to a two-sample ANOVA or t-test) of distance (m) to feature of 2000 random points placed in each study area. HDI refers to the Bayesian highest density credible interval, proportion > 0 refers to the proportion of the posterior distribution positive (or negative), and η is the effect size.
