To minimize colinearity among predictors, all variables with VIF values > 5 were removed. VIF: Variance Inflation Factor. The best‐fitting model was selected based on the corrected Akaike information criterion (AICc, ∆AICc, wi). We used R 2 statistics () to describe the amount of variation explained by the model. Models with the highest AICc support are in bold (∆AICc ≤ 2). Marginally supported models are also indicated (∆AICc ≤ 7). TC: topographical complexity.
