Antler and Body Size in Black-Tailed Deer: An Analysis of Cohort Effects
Table 4
Model-averaged coefficients for body size of black-tailed deer during 1980–1997 in Hopland, California, USA. Abbreviations of model parameters are as follows: Precip: total monthly precipitation; Temp.: average monthly temperature; D: the dry season (May–September); W: the wet season (October–April); in_utero: the period during the full gestation of the mother (October–April); grow: the first year of growth of the male (May–April) split into wet and dry seasons; Harv: the year prior to harvest of the male (October–September) split into wet and dry seasons; Treat: the treatment period (before: pretreatment, or after: the combined treatment and posttreatment); Int: the interaction term between precipitation and treatment period during gestation by the mother or the first year of growth; Antler (PC1): the first principal component for antler size (large antlers are negative; small antlers are positive). Bold values in the confidence interval (CI) column represent parameters that did not overlap zero.
