Top model set containing models with a ΔAIC that is ≤6 and lower than all simpler nested versions [51]. The number of parameters in each model (K), R² values, ΔAICs and Akaike model weights are shown. The most parsimonious model for each site is displayed in bold. 'Sex' represents sex-specific model intercepts.
