Vertebrate-habitat relationships: Logistic regression models predict probability of occurrence of bird and small mammal species in western Oregon, 1998-1999 Long-Term Ecological Research Andrews Forest LTER Site. [Database]. Available: https://andrewsforest-stage.forestry.oregonstate.edu/data/fsdb-data-catalog/WE027 Accessed 2026-05-10.

Logistic regression models predicting probability of occurrence of bird and of small-mammal species were produced using animal-habitat data sets from throughout western Oregon (Garman and Cole 1999 - Vertebrate Habitat Relationships Data Bank (VHRDB), Report to Coastal Landscape Analysis and Modeling Study). Regression coefficients, variables, and metrics related to model predictions are provided here under Entity 1, and in VHRDB as VERTLOGR.
