Fitting parameters (N_T and m) and goodness of fit (r² and RMSE) for NCMs^a

Group	NTm	95% confidence interval	NT	r2	RMSE	m
All samples	0.26	0.21-0.30	795	0.61	0.143	0.0003
Old Salinas River	0.28	0.20-0.35	199	0.56	0.107	0.0014
Pescadero Creek	0.50	0.44-0.57	157	0.85	0.075	0.0032
San Lorenzo River	0.32	0.23-0.41	196	0.37	0.152	0.0016
Soquel Creek	0.19	0.14-0.23	41	0.74	0.066	0.0045
Waddell Creek	0.15	0.10-0.20	169	0.49	0.171	0.0009

^aN_T is the number of individuals in the population (minimum population size), and m is the maximum probability at which a dead individual is replaced by an immigrant from the source community. RMSE is normalized to the range of the dependent variable, a measure of scatter from the predicted curve.
