We found the problem and corrected it; it had nothing to do with your data but with the way BaSTA assigned column names to the matrix of estimates for the recapture probabilities. We just uploaded the latest version of BaSTA to CRAN (version 1.3). We hope it'll be available in the next couple of days. If you want to run it as soon as possible, you can try to install it from CRAN as binaries, I believe that should be available much sooner.</div><div><br></div><div> Please let us know if you run into any additional problems. Best,</div><div><br></div><div> Fernando<br><div>

<div>I am busy sorting out my data to run with BaSTA. I have a question. In most cases no data in available for pre-emergence litters. How does BaSTA handles this? Or is it similar to ways previously used like in life-tables?</div>
