Table 2 Model selection table for assessing best fit for apparent survival of the southern bent-winged bat at Bat Cave, Naracoorte, Australia. Shown are the deviance, AIC value, \(\Delta\) AIC (difference from the ‘best’ or top-ranked model) and Akaike weight for each model. All candidate models also incorporated encounter probability (\(p\)) (Supplementary Fig. S1).
