Table 2. Model selection of Hawaiian Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni) nest survival in wetlands on O‘ahu.

Models were ranked using Akaike’s Information Criterion corrected for small sample sizes (AICc). K is number of model parameters, ΔAIC is the difference in AIC_c value from the top model, and w_i is Akaike model weight.
