Table 1. Between-site and human-exposed site model ranking.
Models were built using various combinations of nest-site characteristic parameters including total vegetation percent cover, naupaka percent cover, and nest type, and human activity parameters including distance to path and human detections. (A) The five models of best fit for a between-site model comparison of nest-site characteristics and site parameters are reported (n = 53). (B) The five models of best fit for a model comparison of nest-site characteristic and human activity parameters for the human-exposed colony (n = 24) are reported. Models are ranked using Aikakes Information Criterion corrected for small sample sizes (AICc). Model comaprison metrics include the number of model parameters (K), the difference in AICc from the top model (ΔAICc), and the Aikake model weight (wi).
