File S1 - Marine Mammal Strandings and Environmental Changes: A 15-Year Study in the St. Lawrence Ecosystem

File contains: Table S1. Species composition in the stranding database for the Estuary and the Gulf of St.-Lawrence, Québec, Canada, 1994–2008. This table provides an overview of all marine mammal species stranded in the study area. Age and sex classes for each species were grouped together. Table adapted from [54]. Table S2. Species composition of marine mammal strandings reported in the Estuary and the Gulf of St.-Lawrence, Québec, Canada, from 1994–2008 (N = 1193). Table S3. Model selection for multiple linear regressions including environmental parameters as predictors of the inter-annual variation in marine mammal stranding events in the Estuary and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Québec, Canada, 1994–2008. For each model, we report the sample size (n), the number of parameters (k), the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), the value relative to the model with the lowest AIC (ΔAIC), AIC weight (ωAIC) as well as the adjusted R2 (R2adj.). Models are ranked by their AIC and best models are shown in bold.
