Effects in mean time to extinction (Tmean and 95% confidence interval) in the metapopulation, donor and recipient subpopulations after the translocation program. Donor subpopulations were those with more than 100 males (n = 7). Recipient subpopulations were those with the most unfavorable situation in the PVA results (shortest mean time to extinction), two scenarios were simulated: seven recipient subpopulations close to the metapopulation core and seven recipients distant from the core. For each scenario, six different harvest alternatives are offered: 1 + 1, 2 + 2, 3 + 3, 5 + 5, 10 + 10 and 10 + 6 males/females, this last one adjusted to the species sex ratio. In all of them, movements were carried out during 3 consecutive years. Harvested individuals were introduced randomly in recipient subpopulations (Supplementary Tables S6, S7).
