TABLE 8.
Top models (delta AICc < 2) evaluating detection of predator species via our molecular analysis by eggshell sample as a function of survey interval, temperature, and precipitation.
| Intercept | Survey interval length | Precip. | Max. Temp. | Precip. * max. Temp. | Df | logLik | AICc | ΔAICc | w |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| −0.66 | 1 | −358.30 | 718.61 | 0.00 | 0.22 | ||||
| −0.94 | 0.02 | 2 | −357.78 | 719.59 | 0.99 | 0.14 | |||
| −0.65 | −0.02 | 2 | −358.23 | 720.49 | 1.89 | 0.09 | |||
| −0.63 | −0.01 | 2 | −358.28 | 720.58 | 1.97 | 0.08 |
Note: The asterisk (*) indicates an interaction term between total precipitation and average minimum temperature during the final survey interval. The null model (intercept only) was the top model.
