The model selection results investigating the percentage daily body weight change between two subsequent captures of Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) in southeastern Norway (2006–2020).

Each model represents a linear mixed effect model with year and beaver ID included as random effects. Potential fixed effects included in each candidate model are age group of the beaver, season of tagging, sex of the beaver, and whether the beaver was tagged or not. The plus signs indicate which variables were included in each candidate model. Degrees of freedom (df), log likelihood (logLik) and model AIC weight (w) are provided for each candidate model. Results for the best supported model are shown in bold.
