Species Composition of Tropical Understory Birds in Threatened East African Coastal Forests Based on Capture Data

Table 2

Generalized linear mixed-effects model on association of the Shannon-Weiner Diversity Indices with forest size and habitat type. Habitat was entered in the model as core or edge, whereby “edge” was retained by the model along with “forest size” as important covariates in influencing understory birds.

Covariate	Value	Std. error	LCI	UCI
Intercept	1.966	0.154	1.633	2.299
Forest size	0.003	0.006	−0.010	0.016
Habitat—“edge”	0.066	0.177	−0.317	0.449
