Estimates for the parameters of the populations obtained by fitting the data on ΔH,L(t), based on the different modelling scenarios under consideration.

The results are presented in terms of ΔAICc, the difference between the value of the AIC (corrected for small sample size; see Materials and methods) of each scenario and scenario 1. Modelling scenarios with lower values of ΔAICc provide a more parsimonious explanation for the data.
