prediction | supported | reasons for support or rejection | prediction | supported | reasons for support or rejection |
S1INTAKE | partially | - time allocation strongly (but not only) influenced by foraging conditions (landcover, ruggedness) - short resting bout duration | W1INTAKE | partially | - time allocation influenced by forage conditions (landcover, ruggedness) - long resting bout duration |
S2INTAKE | yes | - no covariates selected that represent potentially constraining environmental conditions (e.g. temperature) | W2INTAKE | no | - time allocation not independent of potentially constraining environmental conditions (snow, temperature, wind speed) |
S3 INTAKE | yes | - no specific daily scheduling of activities | W3INTAKE | no | - distinct daily scheduling of activities |
S4INTAKE | yes | - year not selected as covariate | W4INTAKE | partially | - year selected as covariate - no pronounced interannual variation in activity budgets |
S1TIME | partially | - light and foraging conditions (landcover, ruggedness) strongly influence time allocation - time of day not selected as covariate | W1TIME | partially | - time allocation influenced by time of day, forage (landcover, ruggedness) and light conditions |
S2TIME | no | - time spent foraging is constantly high throughout summer | W2TIME | no | - foraging activity decreased over course of the winter (i.e. with declining forage quality, see Schmidt et al. 2018) |
S3TIME | no | - no specific daily scheduling of activities during midnight sun period | W3TIME | yes | - distinct daily scheduling of activities |
S1NET | no | - no covariates selected that represent potentially constraining environmental conditions (e.g. temperature) | W1NET | yes | - time allocation influenced by forage (landcover, ruggedness) and potentially constraining environmental conditions (snow, temperature, wind speed) |
S2NET | no | - no covariates selected that represent potentially constraining environmental conditions (e.g. temperature) | W2NET | yes | - probability of resting increased with deep snow, low temperature, high wind speeds - long resting bout duration |
S3NET | no | - time of day not selected as covariate | W3NET | no | - distinct daily scheduling of activities |
S4NET | no | - year not selected as covariate | W4NET | partially | - year selected as covariate - no pronounced interannual variation in activity budgets |
