Table 5 Sets of candidate models explaining the total density of birds wintering in an urbanized environment (Kraków, S Poland; for parameters, see Table 1). The number of variables (K), Akaike’s information criterion for small samples (AICc), the difference between the given model and the most parsimonious model (ΔAICc) and the Akaike weight (w) are reported for each model

From: Habitat type, food resources, noise and light pollution explain the species composition, abundance and stability of a winter bird assemblage in an urban environment
