Cox-proportional hazards mixed-effects models assessing the effects of resource use, predation risk, birth body mass, winter severity, and vegetation hiding cover on the daily survival of white-tailed deer fawns (≤14 weeks of age; <i>Odocoileus virginianus</i>; <i>n</i> = 129) during the post-partu

Models included individual fawn and year as random effects on the intercept. Models presented with standardized parameter estimates, standard errors (SE), probability values, degrees of freedom (df), and estimated hazard ratio parameter probability values, and percent integrated deviance explained indicating the reduction in the log-likelihood from the null model. Percent deviance explained was used to rank models. Model fit was assessed using a Chi-square test of log-likelihood of a given model (Log-likelihood X2) compared to the null model.
