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.
