Description

Using data from a previously published paper, Long-term changes in occurrence, relative abundance, and reproductive fitness of bat species in relation to arrival of White-nose Syndrome in West Virginia, USA, students will learn more about the impact WNS has had on certain bat species. This lesson will show students how to fit a logistic regression model, assess the fit of the model, and how to interpret the coefficients.
