Table 3.
Akaike weights for truncated power-laws, maximum likelihood estimates for power-law exponents and p-values quantifying the absolute goodness-of-fit of the power-law for incubating C. borealis breeding in the North Atlantic (Corvo and Berlenga). Estimates for the power-law exponents are only given when the evidence for a power-law is strong

Note that the combined Akaike weight for the alternative models (i.e., for either the exponentially-truncated power-law or the exponential being the better model of our data) is 1 – Akaike weight for a truncated power-law
