Fig. 2From: The use of sequential mark-release-recapture experiments to estimate population size, survival and dispersal of male mosquitoes of the Anopheles gambiae complex in Bana, a west African humid savannah villageEstimated size of the background population and daily survival during the four study periods. For each period, the ellipses demarcate the most probable parameter combinations according to the corresponding data and model; in each case the ellipse contains 95% of the posterior density. The corresponding dots plot the maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) estimates. The standard model (blue, red or purple depending on the data source) allows a different survival rate in each study period, while the “constant survival” model (green) assumes a fixed rate of survival across all study periodsBack to article page
