Habitat use and movement patterns of broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris) in an impacted Atlantic forest environment in Brazil

Table 2 Model selection results of covariates predicting broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris) movements (meters) in the Tapacurá Reservoir, São Lourenço da Mata, Pernambuco, Brazil, based on GPS-telemetry data between July 2021 and July 2022. Null, global and models with ΔAikake’s Information Criteria (ΔAIC_C) distance < 2 are presented

Model	np	logLik	AICc	ΔAIC_C	Weight
S + Sx + Rv:Sx + Rf:Sx + S*Sx	10	− 3265.09	6550.50	0.00	1.00
Global	12	− 3264.38	6553.30	2.73	0.00
Null	3	− 3285.06	6576.10	25.62	0.00

All covariates were scaled (mean = 0, standard error = 1)
Rv: reservoir volume (percentage); Rf: daily rainfall (millimeters); Sx: sex (female/male); S: season (dry/wet). np: number of parameters; logLik: log likelihood of the model; AICc: Aikake’s Information Criteria; ΔAIC_C: distance from the best model; Weight: weight of each model in the models with ΔAIC_C < 2 (values from 0 to 1)
