Table 3. Sequential model runs using a first-order auto-correlation structure, and corresponding difference in AIC values.

Model	Parameters	Term removed	ΔAIC
Activity_p1q0_1	Temperature + Turbidity + PAR + Tide + Moon + Depth + PAR·Tide	Moon (P = 0.47)	3.41
Activity_p1q0_2	Temperature + Turbidity + PAR + Tide + Depth + PAR·Tide	Turbidity (P = 0.34)	1.92
Activity_p1q0_3	Temperature + PAR + Tide + Depth + PAR·Tide	Temperature (P = 0.28)	0.82
Activity_p1q0_4	*PAR* + *Tide* + *Depth* + *PAR·Tide*	Depth (P<0.01)	0
Activity_p1q0_5	PAR + Tide + Depth		6.05

The P-value of the term removed from each model is given, and the best model is highlighted in bold.
