From: Establishment probability in newly founded populations
Intrinsic mean time to extinction T m of a reintroduced wild dog population (dots) and intercept of the “Wissel plots” with the y -axis (squares). For parameters, see Table 1 (initial condition: number of packs = 2 to 8; probability for a disperser group to leave release area = 0.4). Only if the initial number of packs is four or larger, the y-intercept is zero or smaller and thus establishment of the population ensured. (Tm and the y-intercept were determined from simulated extinction times using a user-friendly software tool that is available from the authors upon request.)
