   FIG. G1. Predicted selection probabilities in relation to the habitat type exposed gravel sediments, log-prey density, and temperature, separately by species and scale. The model that best explained habitat selection was used to predict selection probabilities (Table 3, Appendix D). Predictions were done for constant low (-0.5), intermediate (0.1), and high log-prey density (0.7), as well as for 14 temperature values ranging from 20°C to 46°C. Shaded areas are mean selection probabilities, whereas transparent areas indicate the lower and upper 95% confidence interval. If there is no selection, the selection probability (P) is 0.5, if there is avoidance P < 0.5, and if there is preference P > 0.5. When the selection surface parallels the x- and y axes, selection is independent of prey and temperature.
