Population density estimates (individuals/unit²) from Bayesian spatial capture-recapture models for simulated data with a true density of 1.98 individuals/unit². Estimates are reported as the median of each simulation’s median, 95% credibility intervals (95% CI) and standardized widths of the 95% credibility intervals (SW) from models with covariates for distance, Sex, σ_sex, and Sex + σ_sex 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.
