Upper portion, results based on full distribution <strong>of</strong> Z; lower portion, only mean <strong>of</strong> Z and<br />

proportion <strong>of</strong> zeros known. Data and analysis described in appendices A and B.<br />

∆AICc: Akaike information criterion, modified for small sample size, relative to lowest<br />

score.<br />

Akaike weight: approximate probability that model is the best <strong>of</strong> models considered.<br />
