Inclusion of variables as additive terms without interaction is indicated by “+” in the Main effects column. Inclusion of an interaction term between independent variables is indicated by “*” in the Main effects column. Models were ranked according to AIC, with the model displaying the lowest AIC per species considered the top model. Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and log likelihood (logLik) are included for comparison purposes. All models included individual ID and “Type” (i.e., True Velocity or Predicted Velocity) as random effects. A first-order autoregressive structure was incorporated into all models to account for temporal autocorrelation in the data sets.
