Code files
"growth_analysis.R"
-An R script to fit the von Bertalanffy growth model to growth data
from San Francisco gartersnakes. The von Bertalanffy growth model is fit using JAGS software (Plummer 2003), and is based on the model presented in Armstrong and Brooks (2013).
"survival_analysis.R"
-An R script to fit the robust-design Cormack-Jolly-Seber model to capture-mark-recapture data from San Francisco gartersnakes. The robust-design model is based on the model published by Riecke et al. (2018).

Integrating growth and survival models for flexible estimation of size-dependent survival in a cryptic, endangered snake
Estimates of demographic rates for animal populations and individuals have many applications for ecological and conservation research. In many animals, survival is size-dependent, but estimating the form of the size–survival relationship presents challenges. For elusive species with low recapture rates, individuals’ size will be unknown at many points in time. Integrating growth and capture–mark–r
