J. Wilson White and Robert R. Warner. 2007. Safety in numbers and the spatial scaling of density-dependent mortality in a coral reef fish. Ecology 88:3044–3054.

Comparison of models for small scale mortality rate based on daily observations of settlement and disappearance in 2005. Fitted parameters are a constant (C), fish age (A), group size (G), settler density (D), predator abundance (P), habitat rugosity (R), and group category (GC = 1, 2, > 2). AIC difference () is the difference between the AIC_c of model i and the lowest AIC_c observed. Akaike weight (w_i) is calculated as the model likelihood, exp(-/ 2), normalized by the sum of all model likelihoods; values close to 1 indicate greater confidence in the selection of a model.
