AIC values for the different growing season (May 9 –Aug. 29) SSF models examining how Mongolian gazelles select for NDVI.

Models represent different hypotheses on how Mongolian gazelles select for NDVI (linear or quadratic). A linear model has just NDVI as an explanatory variable. A quadratic model has NDVI + NDVI2 as explanatory variables. Models were run for each individual with 1, 5, and 10 day step-lengths. For the 1 day step length we were also able to run models by individual-year. Results are shown only for those individuals where the top-model had a significant p-value (α < 0.05). ΔAIC is the difference between a model and the top model.
