Habitat parameters tested include: Salmon = summed chum and pink salmon biomass, conifer cover = percent cover of all coniferous trees, riparian shrub cover = percent cover of riparian shrubs predominantly stink currant and salmonberry, male density = absolute male wren density per hectare, territory size = male wren territory size in hectares. Year (fixed effect) and stream (random effect) were included as variables in all models but are excluded from the table for clarity. K = number of parameters in model, ΔAICc = difference between the model AICc and the top model AICc, w i = model AICc weight, ER = evidence ratio. (PDF)
