Summary of models evaluating the role of river flow and temperature on winter survival of American dippers.

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 provide information on strongly supported models (ΔAICc <2) including river flow and temperature and the top three models from Table 1. Model 4 is the most complex model in this candidate set. Model coding: migratory strategy (m), migration-breeding vs winter periods (mbcwc), constant survival (.), maximum daily flow during winter period (maxflow), minimum temperature during winter period (minT). All models parameterize resighting probabilities using p(m*month).
