  1. Factors included were territorial status (Territ), daylight index (DI), climatic season (Season), breeding season (Br_S), and sex (Sex) and the simple interactions Sex*Territ, Season*Territ and Br_S*Territ. The model with the lowest AIC value (in italics) is the most parsimonious. K: total number of parameters (explanatory terms + random term + residual deviance); AICc: corrected Akaike information criterion; ΔAICc: difference between the AICc value for that model and the best model; and, W: Akaike weights
