  1. Criteria are based on the matrix of switching probability (representing the probability q of switching from mode i to j) and whether an individual departed the second encamped mode (M2). Numbers in parentheses reflect predicted strategies based on the non-linear modelling approach proposed by Bunnefeld et al. [14] applied to our simulated movement trajectories
