Models are ranked by Akaike’ s Information Criterion corrected for small sample sizes (AICc) values, from the best to the worst model. LIFE: light intensity of first emergence of bats, LISS: light intensity of sunset, LIME: light intensity of mid-emergence of bats, HME: humidity as mid-emergence of bats, TME: temperature at mid-emergence of bats, LS: lactation stages, PHNHM: predators were hunting or not hunting on bats at mid-emergence of bats, ST: sunset time.
Table 4 Model-averaged parameter estimates of the best-supported (before and including the null model) linear mixed models describing the variation in mid-emergence time of Vespertilio sinensis. The independent effects (IF) of factors on the mid-emergence time ofVespertilio sinensis using hierarchical partitioning analysis are displayed in the last column.
