Influence of ecological factors on the presence of a triatomine species associated with the arboreal habitat of a host of Trypanosoma cruzi

Table 2 Results of the multi-model inference analysis of nest presence/absence, for the tree models with the lowest AIC

Model	AIC	∆ AIC^a	LRT^b	P-value
TH	190.82	73.68	66.30	0.60
TH + DBH + SPP:TH	191.07	73.43	16.54	1
TH + DBH + SPP:DBH	191.53	72.97	17.01	1

Abbreviations: TH tree height, DBH diameter at breast height, SPP tree species
^a∆ AIC is the difference between the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for the complete model and the reduced model
^bLikelihood ratio test (LRT) and associated P-value test the hypothesis that the reduced model provides no worse fit than the complete model
