Tab. 1. Robust Design candidate models to estimate survival probability (ϕ), capture probability (p) and temporary emigration probability (γ) for Hippocampus reidi. Models are ranked by the lowest quasi-Akaike’s Information Criterion with a 2 nd- order correction for small sample sizes (QAICc values). Notation: (.) constant; (t) time-dependence; (g) group effect; (p = c) no recapture effect; (γ”= γ’=0) no emigration models; (γ”= γ’) random emigration models; (γ” γ’) Markovian emigration models.
