Supplement 1. Commented BUGS code that refers to scenario R3 with common αi’s and hierarchical βi’s.

File ListLifeCycleModel.txt (MD5: 245338d073342e885edb233f8fa7b050)Description LifeCycleModel.txt is a BUGS code to estimate parameters of a full life cycle model, including (i) outputs of an individual-based model for larval drift and survival that provided yearly estimates of the dispersion and mortality of eggs and larvae, from spawning grounds to settlement in several coastal nurseries; (ii) a habitat suitability model, based on juvenile trawl surveys coupled with a geographic information system, to estimate juvenile densities and surface areas of suitable juvenile habitat in each nursery sector; and (iii) a statistical catch-at-age model for the estimation of the numbers-at-age and the fishing mortality on subadults and adults. The present code refers to a specific scenario of the larvae to juvenile mortality process tested in the associated paper. This scenario (R3) assumes a density-independent mortality parameter common to all nurseries (a_BH) and a nursery-specific density-dependent mortality parameter (b_BH). Comment lines specify the inputs to the function and the outputs from the function. The code may be called from an OpenBUGS program.

描述：LifeCycleModel.txt 是用于完整生命周期模型参数估计的BUGS代码，该模型涵盖三大模块：(i) 基于个体的幼虫漂移与存活模型（individual-based model），可产出从产卵场到多个沿海育苗场定居全过程中，卵与幼虫的扩散率与死亡率的年度估计值；(ii) 结合幼鱼拖网调查与地理信息系统（Geographic Information System, GIS）的栖息地适宜性模型，用于估算各育苗分区的幼鱼种群密度与适宜幼鱼栖息地的表面积；(iii) 用于估计各年龄组种群数量以及亚成体与成体捕捞死亡率的年龄结构统计捕捞模型。
本代码对应关联论文中测试的幼虫至幼鱼死亡率过程的特定情景（R3），该情景假定所有育苗场共享一个与密度无关的死亡率参数（a_BH），并设置各育苗场专属的密度依赖型死亡率参数（b_BH）。
代码中的注释行用于说明函数的输入参数与输出结果，该代码可通过OpenBUGS程序调用。
