   FIG. C1 . Change in parameter estimates obtained by Kalman filtering in relation to the assumed coefficient of variation (CV) of fecundity (F), based on structured start, with estimated 95% confidence intervals shown (dashed lines). The parameters are: r = neck-collar retention probability, a = overwinter survival probability in absence of harvest (intercept), b = slope of the relationship between survival and harvest, Fg, Fa and Fb, = fecundity of breeding females in good, average, and bad years, respectively, c = dispersion parameter for variance in total population size (see text for details).
