Top models of disease seroprevalence and survival for Yellowstone National Park��s canids.

Models presented are those best-supported (�� AICc [44]. Response variables include seroprevalence of canine parvovirus (CPV), canine adenovirus (CAV-1), canine herpesvirus (CHV), Neospora caninum (Neo), and canine distemper virus (CDV), as well as wolf-pup survival (Survival). Covariates are detailed in Table 1, but include Year, Location (Northern Range versus Interior; wolves only), Resident (resident versus transient status; coyotes only), and AgeClass (juvenile, young adult, or old adult). (K = number of estimable parameters, increasing differences from the best model (��) indicate decreasing model adequacy, and Akaike weights (w) express model support relative to all other models in the set. Additive effects are expressed with a plus sign, and interactions between factors are connected with an asterisk.).
