1 the proportion of captures within the ecotype of the total (re)captures for an individual rodent species
2 calculated as the total number of successful capture events of all species / total single trap nights within the ecotype
3 calculated as a proportion of total trapping success across ecotypes accounting for trapping frequency and distributions of capture events within and across ecotypes.
