Models are ranked by Akaike’ s Information Criterion corrected for small
sample sizes (AICc) values, from the best to the worst model. LIFR:
light intensity at final return of bats, LISR: light intensity of
sunrise, HFR: humidity at final return of bats, TFR: temperature at
final return of bats, LS: lactation stages, PAPDA: presence or absence
of predators during dawn.
Table 6 Model-averaged parameter estimates of the best-supported (before
and including the null model) linear mixed models describing the
variation in final return time of Vespertilio sinensis. The
independent effects (IF) of factors on the final return time ofVespertilio sinensis using hierarchical partitioning analysis are
displayed in the last column.
