* = Significant; ** = High significant, *** = Highly significant. Only those wildlife which showed significant association effects were presented in this table. Model used binomial errors where p = probability value, intercept represent high abundance. OR = Odd ration where OR > 1 shows positive association while OR < 1 shows negative association.
