Effects of colour dye on survival and life-history estimates. For each period, the bands plot the posterior distributions of (a) survival s and (b) life-expectancy calculated as (1–s)-1 where s has been estimated from both swarm and PSC data arising from the given colour dye from that period. For the first three experiments, the colours are confounded with their corresponding release locations (red dye, centre of village; green dye, edge of the village; and blue dye, outside village). The rightmost band plots the posterior distributions when all these data are combined and it is assumed that there is a fixed rate of mortality across all study periods. Oct. ‘13, May ‘14, Sep. ‘14 and Apr. ‘15 indicate the four study periods: October 2013, May 2014, September 2014 and April 2015, respectively
