| Summary: | Figure 3. Observed species and age class identification probabilities for four species of iceassociated seals in the Bering Sea. True species and age classes include spotted seal pup (SDP), spotted seal nonpup (SDN), ribbon seal pup (RNP), ribbon seal nonpup (RNN), bearded seal pup (BDP), bearded seal nonpup (BDN), ringed seal pup (RDP), and ringed seal nonpup (RDN). Observed species classifications include spotted seal (red), ribbon seal (green), bearded seal (yellow), ringed seal (blue), and unknown seal (white). Observed age classes include pup, nonpup, and unknown. Solid colors with no hashing indicate unknown age classification. Top panel (a) includes results from an analysis with no observer effects on model parameters. Bottom four panels (b) correspond to four different observers from an analysis including observer effects.
