  1. The best performing model (Model A) and the general model (Model I) are indicated in bold. See Additional file 1: Table S4 for a complete list of all 42 models
  2. QAIC Aikake Information Criterion, QAICc Aikake Information Criterion corrected for small sample, #Par number of parameters, ΔAICc difference of AICc between the models and the model A. φ = survival, ψ = transition, P = recapture, a = age with a(1) = individuals less than 6 months old and a(2) = individuals over 6 months old, f = original zone, to = zone of destination, t = season.year, g = location of birth (C = Camargue, H = Hyères, M = Marseille), h = two groups of individuals with different recapture probabilities
