to demonstrate the insight a researcher can acquire by using 

 residuals as a diagnostic probe to gauge the possibihty of 

 assumption violation. Similarly, the work presented here is 

 intended to further guide researchers by explicitly delineat- 

 ing the properties of the residuals associated with two com- 

 monly applied multiyear tag-recovery models. 



Model 1 and model 1' represent parameterizations of 

 only two classes of tag-recovery models. Properties of the 

 residuals associated with other classes of models (e.g. move- 

 ment models, age-structured tag-recovery models, capture- 

 recapture models) have not been studied. We feel strongly 

 that similar types of insight about model performance and 

 model fit can be acquired by examining the residuals for 

 patterns. As such, we recommend that the residuals fi'oni 

 other classes of models be more thoroughly investigated.
