Survival models using Program MARK for white-tailed deer from birth to 30 days using known-age newborn fawns and ages estimated from published neonatal-age models based on new-hoof growth, South Dakota and Minnesota, USA, 2001–2009.

Models compared and contrasted survival rates among groups and time-dependency.
aKA = known-age newborn fawns, B = Brinkman [20], H = Haskell [17], S = Sams [19], or HS = Haugen and Speake [18] neonatal-age model.
bTemporal scale represents constant, daily, or weekly survival among intervals.
cAkaike's Information Criterion corrected for small sample size [55].
dDifference in the AICc value of the top-ranked model and that of the model under consideration.
eAkaike weight [55].
fNumber of parameters.
