Table 3.

A comparison of the 16 generalised linear models analysing body condition (mass/wing length) of Mauritius parakeet nestlings over the three experimental breeding seasons (2013/14 to 2015/16).

Factors related to body condition include treatment (T), distance to the nearest supplementary feeding station (SF), individual BFDV load (VL) and the linear (F) and quadratic terms (F2) of dam age based on Akaike’s information criterion corrected for finite sample size (AICc) and weights (AICc weights). All models were run with the nesting female and breeding season as random intercept effects. K denotes the number of parameters in each model and models are ranked according to their ΔAICc.
