Results from the Cox proportional hazards models analyzing the association between the tree residence time of foraging woodpeckers and attributes of individual trees.

Fixed-effect variables include: 1) the Decay Index Ratio (DIR): the quality of each tree relative to the mean decay stage of all trees available at the local scale (DIRΔt = 0) or along the route (DIRr, see the main text); 2) DIS: travel distance between trees; 3) DBH: diameter at breast height of the tree; 4) TH: height of the tree; and 5) Sp: tree species. Models were ordered according to their DIC weights and ΔDIC, with ΔDIC <2 indicating that the model is supported by data.
