Test results are shown for the top model for maximum flight distances, containing both water surface area and total shore length (A), and for univariate models for maximum flight distance and home range size (B). P-values were computed using likelihood ratio tests between the null models and the models containing the metric of interest as only independent variable. Marginal and conditional R2 values were calculated following [52]
