Table 4. —Model determined survival rates, s (t), of fishers for variables included in known-fate survival analyses in Program MARK. Ages were defined as 6–11 months for juveniles, 12–23 months for subadults, ≥ 24 months for adults, and 6–23 months for “young” fishers. Weekly survival rates were from candidate models in Table 3, and weekly encounter histories for radiocollared fishers from March 2007 to March 2014 at 2 study sites in the Sierra National Forest, California.
