Effects of time (t), and age (age-juvenile/adult) on the probability of survival (ϕ) and recapture (p) of southern elephant seals during the high- (1951–1964) and low-density (1993–1999) eras. Models are ranked according to their Akaike weights (wQAICc), the relative change in AICc score (ΔQAICc), and number of parameters (k) based on an inflation factor (ĉ) of 1.3664. | |||
