Summary of binomial generalized linear regression models (GLMs) used to assess the effect of trawling activity, region and sighting conditions on observations of (A) sperm whales or (B) northern bottlenose whales.

Greatest support for best fit models is indicated by lowest ΔAIC (Akaike’s information criterion) values; all model with ΔAIC < 2 indicated in bold. Coefficients from the most supported model are provided, and terms where support for a significant relationship (positive or negative) with whale presence (p-value <0.05) are noted in bold. Df = degrees of freedom. For Trawler Activity state, Towing was the reference level and for Fishing Area, Flemish cap was the reference level.

最优拟合模型的最佳支持度由最低的Δ赤池信息准则（ΔAkaike’s Information Criterion, ΔAIC）值体现；所有ΔAIC < 2的模型均以加粗形式标注。本数据集提供最优支持模型的系数，其中被证实与鲸类出现情况存在显著正相关或负相关关系（p值<0.05）的变量项，将以加粗形式标注。自由度（degrees of freedom, Df）记为Df。在拖网活动状态（Trawler Activity state）中，拖网作业（Towing）为参考水平；在捕捞区域（Fishing Area）中，佛兰芒海域（Flemish cap）为参考水平。
