98 Chapter 5 the models failed to meet these assumptions, or when the characteristics of the response variable required so, we considered alternative distributions (Poisson: butterfly species richness and abundance, tree species richness, and Gamma: AGC, timber volume, farm size). For statistical analysis we used the software ‘R’ (R Core Team, 2019) and the packages ‘lme4’ and ‘multcomp’.
