AICc-based model selection to assess the effect of the variables ‘area’ (Espuña and Nororeste) and ‘visit’ (1^st visit, 2^nd visit, 3^rd visit and 4^th visit to the carcass) on insect family richness and the abundance of those families most frequently recorded on red fox carcasses.

The number of estimated parameters (k), AICc values, AICc differences with the highest-ranked model (ΔAICc), and the percentage of explained deviance (D2) are shown. Selected models are highlighted in bold.
