Abstract
In Exercise 1.13, David and Alistair looked at invertebrate epifauna settling on algal beds (seaweed) with different levels of isolation (0, 2, or 10 m buffer) from each other, at two sampling times (5 and 10 weeks). They observed the following presence (+ )/absence (−) patterns for crabs (across 10 replicates).

a aBut does not account for overdispersion (i.e. all individuals being counted need to be independent, no missing predictors in the model.)
