This is a fairly difficult lab. If you need to attend multiple lab sections for extra help that is fine. However, the people enrolled in the lab section get first choice of computers. After that, first come, first served.
Question 4 and 5: Look in your lab notes under the interpreting results section (#3) to find out what the null hypothesis is. The general model is the more complex model and the reduced model is the simpler model.
Question 5: Think about how you could test this hypothesis with the LR tests. You will use a model you already have run AND a new model. The new model is fairly simple and isn't much different than the s(g.) r(g.) model. Good luck.
Question 6: Look under the Definitions hot link in Lab notes for information on how to calculate recovery, reporting, and harvest rates.
There are other MARK resources available online - They are not required reading, but if you need to apply MARK for later projects, they would be good sources to consult.

NOTE: Other help notes may be added to this page over the next few days, so you may want to check back here occasionally. If the help notes do not adequately answer your question, please see the TA's or Dr. Garton during office hours.
