Model averaged parameter estimate, associated standard error (SE) and variate weight (w) is provided for each explanatory variable that was chosen among the highest ranked models. Bolded value indicates that 95 % confidence intervals of a parameter estimate does not include zero
^aDenotes categorical variable where the effect of the first category (Sex: Females or Month: March) was set at the reference level. The variables are defined in the methods section and the complete list of models used in model averaging is provided in Additional file 4
