  1. Data shown are coefficients (or NA for variables not in the model and + for included random terms). All models within 4 AICc of the best model are shown, ordered by AICc. Model weights are relative to all fitted models. Note that model coefficients are hazard ratios: a hazard of 1 implies no effect and, for example, a hazard ratio of 1.25 for ‘AgeStart’ means that the hazard rate increases 25% per year. There is no main effect ‘age’ because it is included ifn the baseline mortality. AgeStart: Age at start of the foraging experiment in years.
