Model selection for testing the influence of sex (SEX) and population density (DEN), as well as a possible interaction between these factors (INT) on (a) the proportion of roe deer that dispersed from their natal home range and (b) the dispersal distance, in three populations (Dourdan, Chizé and Bogesund). (The table gives the AIC scores and the AIC weights in brackets. The selected model appears in italics. X indicates the terms that are included in the model.)
