Abstract
We provide a new method for estimating the age-specific breeding probabilit ies from recaptures or resightings of animals marked as young. Our method i s more direct than previous methods and allows the modeler to fit and compa re models where the age-specific breeding proportions are equal over differ ent cohorts or are a function of external covariates.
