Φ (the probability of survival) remains as a constant in this model; npar shows the number of parameters; QAICc is the adjusted AIC value following correction for overdipersion, and ∆QAICc shows the difference between the specified model and the ‘best’ model. Models with a ∆QAICc < 2 are considered not to differ from the best model.
