A. Mann-Kendall trend tests showed a significant decrease in recaptures during the study period in all groups except females released on site N (NF). B. Indirectly counted mortality (an individual recaptured on a given day can be considered as alive on all previous days) was low throughout the study, especially for females, whose detection rate only decreased in the last days of the study, presumably because they went low in the vegetation to lay their eggs and because of the mowing.
