Model comparison table for Pradel’s temporal symmetry analysis of data collected from a population of northern raccoons (Procyon lotor) at the Ordway-Swisher Biological Station, Florida, from September 1992 to December 1998.

We ran model sets investigating the effects of sex, time, month, season, and additive and interactive effects of sex with the other variables on four parameters: recapture probability, p; apparent survival probability, φ; recruitment rate, f; and realized population growth rate, λ. In section (A), we used the recruitment parameterization; in section (B), we used the lambda parameterization. Only the top ten models are included for each set. K is the number of parameters, AICc is Akaike’s Information Criterion corrected for small sample size, ΔAICc is the difference between each model’s AICc and the AICc of the top-ranked model, weight is the Akaike weight or model probability, and deviance is the model deviance.
