White, 2011). I also added age as factor to the ‘banded as juveniles’ group, taking into account that the banded juveniles grow up into adults, ran the saturated model, then did a Bootstrap Goodness-of-Fit Test (built-in function in MARK) to test if the model fitted the data well. In addition to this, I adjusted for overdispersion (c) and continued fitting all other possible models, with different combinations of group and time parameters over the survival and recapture rates. The programme output showed that survival of adults from the two groups ‘banded as adults’ and ‘banded as juveniles’ were similar. Therefore I combined all adults from the two groups and analysed them as a single group. I retained juveniles as a separate group. I also did model averaging between the two best models as they were of similar weightings (∆QAICc < 2; see Results). The estimated weighted average and standard error were then used to graph survival and re-sighting probability of adult and juvenile Cyanopica cyanus. For estimates of colony size for each year, I used the following formula by Davidson & Armstrong (2002) to calculate colony size for each of the years 2007-2010:
I performed a Chi-Square Test of Association to determine if there was any relationship between individual’s (female and male) breeding success and being present the subsequent year. All statistical tests were considered significant if the P value was < 0.05. Table 2.3 Summary of models used for analysis. For full details see text above.
