Table 3. Multimodel inference based on the generalized linear models and the Cox proportional hazards regression models used to assess the influence of an Ovenbird’s origin on log-transformed wing loading and homing time of translocated individuals, respectively.

Note: Ovenbird individuals were translocated in the boreal mixedwood forest of north-central Alberta ( n = 55) and in the temperate, northern hardwood forest of southern Québec ( n = 89). Standard errors and confidence intervals are based on unconditional estimates of variance (sensu Burnham and Anderson 2002:162).
