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

Table 3 Results of the multi-model inference analysis on triatomine abundance, for the tree models with the lowest AIC_c

Model	AIC_c	∆ AIC_c^a	LRT^b	P-value
NO + TH + TR	609.33	2.81	3.15	0.21
NO + TH + TA + TR	610.08	2.06	1.05	0.31
NO + NH + TH + TR	611.21	0.93	2.18	0.14

Abbreviations: NO nest occupancy, TH tree height, TR tree richness, TA tree abundance, NH nest height
^a∆ AIC_c is the difference between the corrected Akaike Information Criterion (AIC_c) 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
