Table 6 Multi-model inferred averaged model, from dataset omitting cross-validation years 2007, 2011 and 2014. Top models selected using delta BIC < 6. Effect size, directionality, 95% CI  and relative importance of predictors closely resemble those of the predictors generated using the full dataset and 95% cumulative sum of BIC weights (Table 4)
