Results of models fit to relative American pika scat density at a subset (n = 27) of Wind River Range (Wyoming, USA) sites (2010) using temperature sensor data showing the five best-supported models that replaced elevation with climate effects, as well as the best habitat variable model and the null model.

Models were based on Akaike’s Information Criterion corrected for small sample size (AICc). Italicized variables have negative coefficients; model weights (wi) were calculated for each model based on the number of parameters (k) and number of sites sampled (n).
