Apparent survival in relation to climate variables, calculated using capture-mark-recapture analyses, for seven passerine bird species.

Shown are the parameters included in each of the models that we used to predict apparent survival Φ, the ΔAIC values for small sample sizes (ΔAICC) and the AIC weights (AICCW) for all models. Recapture probability was always held constant {p(.), see methods} except for the willow warbler where it was modelled to have a linear effect {p(T)}. See methods for abbreviations of climate variables. 1: the most parsimonious model for a species.
