Table 2 Summary of the best generalized linear mixed effect models fitted to species-specific relative bat activity (BA_P) and foraging activity (FA_P) using the binomial error distribution. All 29 candidate models (see model no. in Table 1) were compared via AICc to identify the best model (w _i ≥ 0.9; w _i is the weight of evidence of a model given the set of models; based on Burnham and Anderson (2002)). If no best model was found, we used the 90% confidence set of models for inference by summing up models from top to bottom until the accumulated number of weights reached w _i = 0.9 (Σ w _i). Here, we present only the most parsimonious models, so that Σ w _i values are smaller than 0.9 (complete overview in Additional file 5)
