Hi all, I?m running a mixed model with poisson error distribution as I have
count data of a shorebird species. My predictors are AMGP (another
shorebird that is usually associated to "my" species and probably has
ecological influence on it), grass height and field distance to the lagoon.
I?m having a hard time trying to interpret second order interactions. I
appreciate your comments of references recommendations. Here is the output
of my model. All the best, Joaqu?n.
