Section 15 Generalized linear modeling (acoustic space use and proportion of bird species detections and time since restoration)

In this script, we run generalized linear models to test the association between acoustic space use values and species richness, and time since restoration.

# We fitted a linear mixed model (estimated using REML and nloptwrap optimizer) to predict roundSpaceuse with propRF (formula: roundSpaceuse ~ propRF). The model included siteCode and visit as random effects (formula: list(~1 | siteCode, ~1 | visit)). The model's total explanatory power is substantial (conditional R2 = 0.84) and the part related to the fixed effects alone (marginal R2) is of 1.99e-04. The model's intercept, corresponding to propRF = 0, is at 289.91 (95% CI [233.66, 346.16], t(1215) = 10.11, p < .001). Within this model:
