Table 1. Pre- and post-experiment population density estimates for white-footed mice.

Density estimates were generated from program DISTANCE for pre- and post-food treatment trapping sessions on 6 experimental trapping webs located at Touch of Nature Environmental Center, Carbondale, Illinois, USA. Detectability functions were created using half-normal (HN), uniform (UN), and hazard rate (HR) key functions combined with cosine (COS), simple polynomial (SP), and hermite polynomial (HP) adjustment factors.
