[R-sig-ME] glmmTMB deviance enquiry

[Rion Lerm]

I reported, in a paper, on the *Deviance* value for model fit as produced
by the *glmmTMB* function.

Please explain how this value is computed, and what are the pros/cons of
this compared to e.g., AIC. I need to comprehend its use and explain the
how and why? to a reviewer and possibly the paper's readers.

Regards and thanks in advance,
