Population density estimates (leopards/100 km2) of common leopards in a portion of Royal Manas National Park, Bhutan during 2010–2011 from MCMC samples of spatial capture-recapture models. Estimates are reported as medians, 95% credibility intervals (95% CI) and standardized widths of the 95% credibility intervals (SW) from models with covariates for distance, Sex, σsex, and Sex + σsex with four subdivisions of the data into quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily sampling intervals.
a Standardized widths of 95% credibility intervals calculated by taking the difference of upper and lower 95% credibility bounds and dividing by the median.
