Summary of models examining survival of American Dippers in the Chilliwack River Valley.

Models are ranked based on their AICc and ΔAICc with the top model having a ΔAICc = 0. We also provide the AIC weights (wi), the model likelihood (Likelihood), the number of model parameters (K) and the deviance (Dev). We only provide information on strongly supported models (ΔAICc <2) and the full time dependent model (m*t). Model coding: migratory strategy (m), temporal variation (t—30 periods; mbcwt—constant during the migration-breeding periods, variable during winter periods; mbtwc—variable during the migration-breeding periods, constant during winter periods; season—migration-breeding, early winter and late winter; scwc—migration-breeding periods vs winter periods,. —constant survival during all time periods. All models parameterize resighting probabilities using p(m*month). Summary of models examining survival of American Dippers in the Chilliwack River Valley.
