North American porcupines, Parc National <strong>du</strong> Bic, Québec, May 2000-May 2005. We<br />

used data on 159 indivi<strong>du</strong>als and mo<strong>de</strong>led sighting probabilities following mo<strong>de</strong>!<br />

selected in Table 3.3. Mo<strong>de</strong>l in bold represents the selected mo<strong>de</strong>!<br />

Tests of the effects of local weather variables on winter <strong>sur</strong>vival rates<br />

(~w) in a popu<strong>la</strong>tion of North American porcupines, Parc National <strong>du</strong> Bic, Québec,<br />

May 2000-May 2005. We used data on 159 indivi<strong>du</strong>als. Mo<strong>de</strong>l in bold represents the<br />

selected mo<strong>de</strong>!. We show the percentage ofyearly variation in <strong>sur</strong>vival that is<br />

exp<strong>la</strong>ined by each environmental covariate (r 2 )<br />

Linear mixed effect mo<strong>de</strong>ls for the power consumed by porcupine<br />

mounts exposed to avai<strong>la</strong>ble conditions of operative temperature (Tc), Parc National<br />

<strong>du</strong> Bic, Québec, December to March 2004-2005. We first tested for an effect of Tc,<br />

microhabitat, and Tex microhabitat. We removed non-significant (NS) interactions<br />

b<strong>et</strong>ween Tcx microhabitat from final mo<strong>de</strong>ls. When testing the effect of microhabitat,<br />

we first consi<strong>de</strong>red al! microhabitats sampled (i .e. "<strong>de</strong>n", "ground open", "ground<br />

covered", "<strong>de</strong>ci<strong>du</strong>ous", "conifer open", "conifer covered" : mo<strong>de</strong>ll). Then we grouped<br />

certain micro habitats and compared effects of groups of microhabitats ("<strong>de</strong>n" vs<br />

non-<strong>de</strong>n microhabitats: mo<strong>de</strong>l 2; arboreal vs terrestrial: mo<strong>de</strong>l 3; open vs covered:<br />
