  1. We report the estimated mean, 95% credible intervals, percent of each credible interval above or below 0, and amount of overlap of each post-parturition category with the non-provisioning category for each habitat parameter. “Pre” indicates habitat parameters for females that were not provisioning offspring (i.e., pre-parturition), “PP” indicates habitat parameters for females that were provisioning offspring, and “AD” indicates habitat parameters for females that had lost their offspring
