Table 1. Summary of statistical analyses of lesser kestrel flight variables divided in two categories: Use of thermals and daily patterns.

Analysis	Level	Sampling frequency	Response variables	Meteorological predictors	Other predictors
Use of thermals	Commuting flight	1-second	Number of thermals/distance, Accumulated ascent/distance, Total ascent/thermal event, Mean climb speed/thermal event	Solar radiation	Individual (Random), Commuting flight type
Use of thermals	6-hour intervals	1-second	Number of thermals/distance, Accumulated ascent/distance, Total ascent/thermal event, Mean climb speed/thermal event	Thermal uplift	Date (Random)
Daily pattern of foraging flights	Commuting flight	All	Maximum flight altitude, Cross-country speed	Solar radiation	Individual (Random), Commuting flight type, GPS sampling frequency
Daily pattern of foraging flights	Foraging trip	All	Maximum distance from the colony, Duration	Solar radiation	Individual (Random), GPS sampling frequency, Colony, Colony*Solar Radiation
Daily pattern of foraging flights	6-hour intervals	All	Maximum flight altitude, Cross-country speed, Maximum distance from the colony, Duration	Thermal uplift, Orographic uplift	Date (Random), Colony, Colony*Thermal uplift

We analyzed these categories at different levels (commuting flights, foraging trips, or 6-hour intervals) registered at 1-second or at all (1-second to 10-minutes) sampling frequencies, depending on the category. We list the flight variables modeled at every level of analysis and the predictors tested in those models. Response variables used at the 6-hour interval level were mean values per interval.
