Table 5. Model-averaged parameter estimates () unconditional standard errors (SE), 95% confidence intervals (CI), and cumulative Akaike’s Information Criterion weights (w+(j)) for all variables used to model space-use intensity in the combined 2012 and 2013 active seasons.
| Variable | SE | CI | w+(j) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intercept | 2.74 | 0.11 | (2.52, 2.96) | NA |
| Translocated | -1.13 | 0.21 | (-1.53, -0.73) | 1.00 |
| Resident | -0.09 | 0.12 | (-0.32, 0.15) | 0.52 |
| Control East | 0.05 | 0.15 | (-0.24, 0.34) | 0.35 |
| Year | -0.19 | 0.14 | (-0.45, 0.08) | 0.79 |
| Year × Translocated | 0.95 | 0.28 | (0.41, 1.50) | 1.00 |
| Year × Resident | 0.007 | 0.13 | (-0.25, 0.26) | 0.36 |
| Year × Control East | -0.16 | 0.25 | (-0.66, 0.34) | 0.46 |
| Sex Male | -1.03 | 0.10 | (-1.21, -0.84) | 1.00 |
| Sex Unknown | 0.76 | 0.22 | (0.33, 1.20) | 0.99 |
| Burrow | 0.57 | 0.02 | (0.53, 0.60) | 1.00 |
| Shrub | -0.04 | 0.02 | (-0.09, 0.005) | 1.00 |
| Shrub2 | -0.0006 | 0.008 | (-0.02, 0.02) | 0.28 |
| Wash | 0.005 | 0.01 | (-0.02, 0.03) | 0.43 |
| Wash2 | -0.005 | 0.008 | (-0.02, 0.01) | 0.65 |
| MCLavg | 0.03 | 0.07 | (-0.11, 0.17) | 0.37 |
MCLavg = average midline carapace length in each year. In our design matrix, the categorical variables were specified such that control west, female, and 2012 were the baseline contrasts used for comparison in the study group, sex, and year categories, respectively. Note the negative effect for translocated and positive effect for year × translocated, suggesting that space-use intensity increased for translocated tortoises in 2013 relative to 2012.
