Survival models of Greater Sage-Grouse in northwestern South Dakota USA, 2016–2017, from model set 1 evaluating the effects of seasonal timing on survival. Akaike’s Information Criterion corrected for small sample size (AICc; Burnham and Anderson 2002); lowest AICc value = 203.64. ΔAICc is the difference in AICc relative to minimum AICc, wi is Akaike weight (Burnham and Anderson 2002) calculated across all models, and k is the number of parameters.
