Table 3. Posterior estimates of spatial scale parameter achieved using structured (SCR) data alone or integrated with unstructured (telemetry and opportunistic; tel, opp) information available for the brown bear population in the Italian Alps.
Parameters are denoted as follows (m = male, f = female): sex-specific spatial scale parameter shared among different data types, σsex; sex-specific spatial scale parameter for structured and unstructured data, σst,sex and σun,sex, respectively.
