Survival was modeled testing all combinations of sex- and time-dependent effects, including either an interaction (sex*time) or additive effects (sex+time). Temporal variation in survival was also modeled as a linear trend (T). Capture probability was modeled to include the effects of sex, time, sex+time, or constant. The top models gaining the majority of support are shown in bold. The rankings of the full model set can be found in File S1.
