Table 3 Model results for biological and landscape model sets for percentage of postpartum female locations in the prepartum ranges (%R) in Sussex County, Delaware, USA, 2016–2017. Models within each set are ranked based on the lowest Akaike’s Information Criterion adjusted for small sample size (AICc) where ΔAICc = AICci – minimum AICc, K = number of parameters, w = AICc weight, and LL = log likelihood
