We analysed the effect of season (S), precipitation (P), reproductive status (RS), body size (BS), body weight (BW), habitat quality (HQ), density of females (DF), density of males (DM), and the interaction between S and P (S * P). Summary statistics include Akaike information criterion (AIC), difference in AIC (ΔAIC), Akaike weight (Wi), deviance explained and degrees of freedom (df). Models are ranked from best to worst according to AIC
