Table 1 Model selection according to corrected Akaike criterion for finite sample size (AICc37) ordered from the most to the less appropriate. p = probability of presence/absence of cocoon; Uair = mean airflow velocity (fixed factor); d = distance from the cave entrance (fixed factor), L = mean light intensity; Site = collection site (random factor, categorical variable); Df = degrees of freedom; AICc = Corrected Akaike Information Criterion for finite sample size; Wi = Akaike weight
