3 Terminology
We adopt the following logic for parameter names:
1. species
2. area (A = In for within the park, Out for outside the park)
3. parameter name (survival, reproduction etc.)
4. age index (1 = first year (birth to one year after birth), 2 second year, … , 2+ or 2plus includes the second and all following years)
5. time (year)
We follow the terminology given in Thomson et al. (2009) for survival parameters: \(S\) for true survival, \(\phi\) for apparent survival, i.e. the product of site fidelity and survival.
