  1. Presented are those models, of the 32 considered, that (1) had a Δ-value < 6 (defined as the AIC-value of the model minus the smallest of all models) and (2) were not more complicated versions of models having a lower AIC-value. Model factors are abbreviated as: mean temperature during the warmest month (MTW), wetness (APET), and log population density (LnP).
