Table 3 Model selection table for models with the highest support (Δi2) investigating calling occurrences, the number of calls per interaction bout, the three PCs, call duration, and the responses to playbacks of defensive calls manipulated in fo and call duration

From: Calls during agonistic interactions vary with arousal and raise audience attention in ravens

  1. Corrected Akaike Information Criterion (AICc) values, the difference between the lowest AICc value and all other AICc values (Δi), the relative likelihood, and resulting Akaike weights are presented (for the models on the playback experiment, quasi (Q) values are shown). “*” indicate main factors and their two-way interaction
