Table 2 Model selection results based on logistic regression of factors influencing the occurrencea of American three-toed woodpeckers in survey plots at the Hayman burn (2003 to 2004), Colorado, USA. Logit models are listed beginning with the best-fitting model and sorted by ΔAIC c . AIC c weights (w i ), indicate the relative likelihood of each model.
