Table 2 Variables for predicting the probability of active behaviour of the full ToD models and full PoD models; separate models were fit for each of the three regions
From: Adaptation of wild boar (Sus scrofa) activity in a human-dominated landscape
Predictor | Information |

Age class | Adult female, adult male, sub-adult female, sub-adult male, piglet |
Air temperature | Hourly measurement in °C |
Hunting pressure | Altdorf Forest: standard hunting Swabian Alps: standard hunting, restricted hunting Wurzach Marsh: standard hunting, no hunting |
Time-of-day or phase-of-day | Second of day or dawn, daylight, dusk, night |
ID | Wild boar identity |
Day of year | 1 to 365 |
Land use category | Forest, agriculture, bog, others |
Distance to forest edge | Next forest edge, at locations in forest noted as negative values |
Distance to road | Distance to the next road |
Distance to track | Distance to the next forest track or field road |
Exposition | Northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, north |
Slope | Slope in degrees |

Moon-phase | Theoretical moon visibility, 0 to 100 percent |
Weekend | True/false (Friday 5Â pm to Sunday 12Â pm) |
Size of the hunting Free/restricted hunting area | Area in ha; for locations outside of protected areas the size of the closest protected area |
No human access | True/false (only in models for the Swabian Alps) |
