New Data on Migration Time, Breeding Phenology, and Breeding Success of European Turtle Doves in Their Highest Breeding Habitats in North Africa

Table 2

Models of the relationship between the breeding chronology of turtle doves (dates) and habitat conditions (altitude, temperature, and rainfall) during 2015 to 2018 (the lack of fit test is designed to determine whether the selected model is adequate to describe the observed variables).
