Explanatory variables for Model 2 included all three initial variables from Model 1 and three categorical snowfall intervals based on its quartile distribution. Crash…

1. Discuss three types of barriers to vertebrate distribution and give an example of each. (1) Physicalbarriers: This one of the barriers that the vertebrates usually encounter during their life.
