Results of a multistate model examining survival (Φ), resighting (p) and recruitment probabilities (transition from subordinate to primary state, ΨSP) for Seychelles warblers (n = 1018) from 1986 to 2006.

The different states (life stages) are: fledgling (F), old fledgling (O), subordinate (S) and primary (P). (t) = time, (s) = sex, (.) = constant. Models were ranked according to their QAICc value, with the best supported model on top. ΔQAICc being the difference between the QAICc of the best supported model and the model considered.
