Examining Temporal Sample Scale and Model Choice with Spatial Capture-Recapture Models in the Common Leopard Panthera pardus
PLOS ONE, 10(11).
MeSH headings : Animals; Bayes Theorem; Ecosystem; Female; Male; Models, Biological; Panthera / physiology; Population Density
TL;DR:
Strong evidence for sex-specific movement distributions in leopards is found, suggesting that sexual patterns of space-use influence density, and a novel application of Bayes factors is developed to select models where multiple ecological factors are integrated into density estimation.
