The model’s estimated multiplier for converting any daily count into a total female population, as a function of date (ANI = Año Nuevo Island, ANML = Año Nuevo Mainland, PR = Point Reyes, CI = Channel Islands, KR = King Range). Each panel shows the curve for one of those four sites highlighted in bl...
