Results of AIC model selection procedure to determine the best models predicting white-tailed deer spatial overlap in Wisconsin.

Datasetadult contains only deer-pairs including at least one adult deer, and datasetcapgroup contains only capture groups 1 and 2 (see text). All models contain capture group and deer-pair as random effects. Age classes are either in categories of adult, yearling, and fawn (if lacking sex effects), or adult, yearling, male fawn, and female fawn. Relatedness is either represented as a continuous variable (Rxy) or categorical (Rxy-cat), in 3 categories consisting of Rxy of 0–0.25, 0.26–0.5, and 0.5–1.
