Figure 8.

Boxplot of the deviation of the maximum likelihood estimate from the true ψ for $10,000$ data sets, assuming independent sites with $k=100$ and θ (Equation 45) with$s=10,000$ when not accounting for population growth. Boxes represent the interquartile range (i.e., the 50% C.I.), and whiskers extend to the highest/lowest data point within the box $\pm 1.5$ times the interquartile range.
