Sample sizes and Cormack-Jolly-Seber recapture-only model specifications for eight analyses of cliff swallows in a mark-recapture study in southwestern Nebraska, U.S.A., 1991–2010.

<p>Net type indicates the style of netting used to capture cliff swallows at a given colony; Years is the number of groups in the analysis except for in the among-years analysis (which had three groups); Occasions is the number of unique dates on which captures occurred across all years except for the among-years analysis in which each year was considered an occasion; Individuals is the number of different swallows included in the analysis (i.e. sometimes the same swallow was captured in multiple years); Effective sample size is the total times swallows were captured across all occasions and groups; ĉ is the measure of overdispersion associated with the analysis and used to calculate QAIC_c values.
