Robust Design candidate models for survival probability (s), capture probability (p), temporary emigration probability (γ) and abundance (N).

Models are ranked by their AICc values. Δ AICc is the difference in the AICc of a model from that of the minimum AICc model. AICc weight indicates the support of the selected model over the others. Deviance is a measure of model fit. At all times, recapture probability (c) was set equal to capture probability (p) and is therefore not mentioned. Notations: (.) constant, (t) time-dependence between primary periods, (s) time-dependence within primary periods, (γ") probability of temporal emigration, (γ’) probability of remaining outside the study area, (γ" = γ’ = 0) no emigration, (γ" = γ’) random emigration, (γ" γ’) Markovian emigration.Robust Design candidate models for survival probability (s), capture probability (p), temporary emigration probability (γ) and abundance (N).
