The candidate models from the POPAN analysis for estimation of apparent survival (Phi (φ)), recapture (p) rates and the probability of entrance (pent) for the two locations.

a(t) = fully time-specific variation, (.) = variation is constant, (expeffort) = 1–(1–p*)t, (effort) = the number of surveys pooled in an occasion, (sr7) = substantial rainfall (>40 mm) in the previous 7 days.bAICc is the estimated Akaike’s Information Criterion, the lower AICc values indicate better fitting models.
