Results of the AIC_c-based multimodel inference procedure examining the variations in habitat preference relative to the independent variables.

<p>The AIC_c-weighted relative importance (<i>w₊</i>), the model-averaged estimate (β) and their unconditional standard error (S.E.) are reported for each parameter (main effects and interactions), as well as their respective prevalence in the candidate models (ν). The ν and w₊ values range between 0 and 100%. The parameter estimates refer to the level indicated between brackets as a baseline. The interpretation of each effect is provided in case of AIC_c-based support.</p><p><u>Response variable</u>: Arrival date of males (days) = arrival dates of males in springtime, Male wing length (mm) = outermost primary wing length in males, Male mask size (mm²) = size of black eye-stripes in males.</p><p><u>Fixed effects</u>: F/W = farmland (F) versus woodland (W) sites, Year = 2008, 2009 or 2010 and Study area = 1 or 2, Aggregation = number of males settled within a radius of 500 metres.</p><p><u>Random effects</u>: territory site identity.
