Figures

Fig 2
Fig 2. Relationship between age and ROAR.
Plot of the dataset used in the regression process to estimate age as a function of ROAR, along with regression line.
Fig 3
Fig 3. Plots of residuals.
Plots of residuals against known ages using regression model.
Fig 4
Fig 4. Accuracy of ROAR in assigning individuals to age class.
Plot of estimated age versus known age as it relates to age class. Dotted vertical and horizontal lines demarcate the 4-year-old age class; solid lines demarcate the 5-year-old age class; dashed lines demarcate the 6-year-old age class. The solid diagonal line through the origin denotes an age estimate that corresponds exactly to the known age. Triangles indicate lions assigned correctly to the < 5 year age class, squares indicate lions assigned correctly to the ≥ 5 year age class, and circles indicate lions assigned to an incorrect age class.
