a Variables that showed statistically significant association are in bold.

b Model 1 presents a null model with no fixed-effect predictors and a random variance component for communities.

c Model 2 presents individual predictor variables in the fixed part and a random variance at community level.

d Model 3 presents community predictor variables in the fixed part and a random variance at community level.

e Model 4 presents both individual and community predictor variables in the fixed part and a random variance at community level.

f SE= Standard error; VPC= Variance partition coefficient; PCV=Percentage change in variance; MOR= Median odds ratio.
