Only the best models are shown, a complete list of models is shown in Table S2 in File S1). Given are the model names, the model deviance (deviance), the model complexity (pD), the difference of the deviance information criterion between the current and the best model (ΔDIC) and the model weights (wi). The recapture model was always the same, i.e. p(sex * year * season). For each survival and transient model the linear equation on the logit scale is given. μs: mean survival for each sex; γs: fixed seasonal effect on survival for each sex; σ2 s: temporal variance of survival for each sex; ηs: mean transience for each sex; λs: fixed seasonal effect on transience for each sex; ς2 s: temporal variance of transience for each sex; m: parameter refers to males only; f: parameter refers to females only.
