First ten models applied to the bottlenose dolphin dataset ranked by lowest AICc, number of parameters (n par) and difference in AICc scores (ΔAICc).

AICc weights indicate strength of evidence for a given model. S(.) = no variation in apparent survival; p(day) = daily variation in capture probability; p(year) = yearly variation in capture probability; p(day.year) = daily and yearly variation in capture probability.
