  1. The model subscript t refers to time dependence (i.e., different in each year and season), s denotes a seasonal effect (i.e., different survival during summer and winter months), and a dot (.) denotes constancy. Table entries are deviance (Deviance) of each model, the number of estimated parameters (K), the difference of the AICc value of the current model and of the best model (ΔAICc), and the AICc weight (w i).
