Summary of generalised linear mixed-effect model (GLMM) comparisons: (a) GLMMs of cell use for within-year fidelity include seal identity and site as random effects; and (b) GLMMS of cell use for between-year fidelity include seal identity as a random effect (“celluse” = overlapping or non-overlapping, SST_SD = sea surface temperature standard deviation, SSHa_mean = average sea surface height anomaly, SSHa_SD = sea surface height anomaly standard deviation).

Only models with a delta AIC <10 are presented and the accepted model is presented in bold.
k, number of paramaters; LL, log-likelihood; AIC, Akaike’s Information Criterion; ΔAIC, difference in AIC from that of the best fitting model; wAIC, AIC weight.
