Table 4 Number of parameters (Np), Akaike Information Criterion corrected for small sample size (AICc), difference in AICc between each model and the model with the lowest AICc for effects, Turkey oak seed production (Mg/study area; Tu); mean temperature Jun–Aug (°C, Ts); chestnut seed production (Mg/study area; Ch); beech seed production (Mg/study area; Be); mean temperature Mar–May (°C; Tp); mean temperature Nov–Jan (°C; Tw); rain Mar–May (mm; Rp); rain Jun–Aug (mm; Rs); maximum snow depth (cm; Sn); wolf density (N/45 km2; Wo); number of culled wild boars in the previous year (Npy) on the total number of culled wild boars in the Alpe di Catenaia study site

From: Mast seeding in deciduous forests of the northern Apennines (Italy) and its influence on wild boar population dynamics
