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.
