Model rankings by the change in the Akaike information criterion (ΔAICc) and log likelihood for the linear mixed-effects model for ln-transformed trip duration (d) fit to trip data from 18 naïve grey seal pups.

The number of degrees of freedom (df), log-Likelihood (LL), second-order Akaike Information Criterion (AICc), difference in AICc from that of the best-supported model (ΔAICc), and Akaike weight (wi) are presented. The best-supported model is indicated in bold. Coefficient estimates, standard errors, and t-values of predictor variables are shown for the best-supported model.
