Editor's Note: The Letter of response above by Wade et al. was limited by me to addressing only the new analysis presented in the Letter by †. The Letter by Estes et al. on pages 748–754 is the opportunity to rebut this response. These two Letters, which stem from responses to the original paper by ‡ and rebuttals to the responses will be the last Letters published in Marine Mammal Science in this string of responses. The Journal will look forward to papers that provide new data that address the hypotheses and questions raised by these various publications.

Figure S1. Stellar sea lion fits using 100% as the maximum for the fitted model. The solid line is the fit using the model where the variance is linearly related to the mean, and the dashed line is the fit with the constant-variance model. An "-R" designation refers to rookery-only data, and a "-T" designation refers to trend-site data (rookeries and haul-outs). See main paper for a full description.
Figure S2. Stellar sea lion fits using 400% as the maximum for the fitted model. The solid line is the fit using the model where the variance is linearly related to the mean, and the dashed line is the fit with the constant-variance model. An "-R" designation refers to rookery-only data, and a "-T" designation refers to trend-site data (rookeries and haul-outs). See main paper for a full description.
