  1. Averaged generalized linear model output of the models predicting the duration of hibernation or end of hibernation of brown bears including the variables spring body mass and whether bears were captured in winter. Models are fitted with a logarithmic link function and estimates need to be exponentiated to get days in hibernation (for hibernation duration) or the day of the year (for hibernation end)
