marginally non-significantp = 0.10
The proportion of records occurring in winter (December, January and February) was generally higher in larger towns though the relationship was marginally non-significant (area, GLM; χ 2 = 2.66; df = 1; p = 0.10; parameter estimate ±s.e. = 0.0018±0.0011) (population size, GLM; χ 2 = 1.73; df = 1; p = 0.18; parameter estimate ±s.e. = 5.5e −7 ±4.2e −7 ).
