Each bear-year was modelled separately before inverse-variance weighted linear models were run for both dispersers and residents. The proportion columns (‘prop’) give the proportion of the bear-years that had coefficient estimates in the same direction as the averaged coefficient (n = 15 for dispersers and n = 46 for residents). Bolded values indicate that the 95% confidence interval of the coefficients do not overlap zero. “Dist.” is an abbreviation for “distance to”
