Table 1 Multi-predictor meta-regression models of avian survival based on only extrinsic factors (Latitude and Temp Seasonality combined) or intrinsic traits (Mass , Clutch size , andNonmigrant ) or a joint model that included both sets of moderators. Latitude was fitted with separate intercepts for the northern and southern hemispheres,Temp Seasonality is the difference in mean temperature of the three warmest vs. three coldest months, andNonmigrant is a binary variable representing species migratory habit. ΔAICC columns represent the increase in model AICC when a moderator is dropped relative to the fully parameterized model. Model coefficients (β ), 95% confidence intervals are shown for the full models. Significant effects are denoted as p <0.0001, ***; p <0. 01, **; or p <0. 05, *. For comparison, AICC for the random effects only model was 1613.66.
