Table 3. Assessed and perceived risk index for key animal species.
Species | Perceived Severity Index | Assessed Severity Index | Variance | Perceived Incidence Index | Assessed Incidence Index | Variance |
Baboon (Papio anubis) | 1.17 | 1.24 | +P | 0.54 | 0.37 | +P |
Wild Pig (Potamochoerus sp.) | 1.70 | 1.48 | +A | 0.39 | 0.29 | +P |
Monkey (Cercopithecus & Colobus spp.) | 1.43 | 1.651 | +P | 0.17 | 0.261 | +A |
Bush Duiker (Sylvicapra grimmia) | 1.16 | 1.46 | +P | 0.08 | 0.13 | +A |
Goat (Capra hircus) | 1.50 | 1.24 | +A | 0.07 | 0.59 | +A |
Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) | 1.50 | 1.631 | +P | 0.03 | 0.021 | +P |
+ indicates the highest factor (i.e., A = assessed or P = perceived risk). Severity index measured from 1 (most severe) to 2 (least severe) and incidence from 0 to 1 (most reported).
Assessed severity and incidence indexes are conservative for chimpanzee and monkey due to fruit and sugar cane not being included in estimates of damage area.
