Table 5 Summary of top generalized linear mixed models (cumulative Akaike weight ≤ 1.00) for predicting 3rd-order habitat selection by melanistic and gray coyotes in the southeastern United States. Shown are Akaike’s Information Criteria for small sample sizes (AICc), differences among AICc (ΔAIC), AICc weights (ωi) and cumulative AICc weights
