Box 1. The state transition matrix associated with our simulations representing probabilities of transitioning from a true state at time t to a true state at time t + 1.
Parameters included survival (S), fidelity (F) and reported mortality (r) probability.
| True state at time t | True state at time t + 1 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alive, inside | Alive, outside | Recently dead | Dead | |
| Alive, inside | SF | S (1 − F) | (1 − S) r | (1 − S) (1 − r) |
| Alive, outside | 0 | S | (1 − S) r | (1 − S) (1 − r) |
| Recently dead | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Dead | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
