Joint estimation of survival and breeding probability in female dolphins and calves with uncertainty in state assignment

Abstract While the population growth rate in long‐lived species is highly sensitive to adult survival, reproduction can also significantly drive population dynamics. Reproductive parameters can be challenging to estimate as breeders and nonbreeders may vary in resighting probability and reproductive...
