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
