Context 2
... night with four, five or six armed box traps was therefore counted as four, five or six trap nights, respectively. During the study period box traps were active on 94 days with a total of 586 trap nights (Table 2.5.1b). When checking the traps, 88% of box traps were found open, 5% had captured an animal and 7% of the traps that had shut were empty (Figure 2.5.1b). ...

... were set in eight different locations; the highest capture success was close to the farmhouse of the farm owner (BT02) in the northern middle of the study site (trap position BT04 on Figure 2.5.1b). Table 2.5.2). ...

... cameras recorded brown hyaena; pictures were not clear enough to identify individuals. Events of pictures taken of other predators within the study period are listed in Table 2.5.4b. Estimates of leopard capture probability, population size and density ...
Context 5
... selected the null model (M 0 ) for the survey. A relatively high capture probability of 0.4271 was recorded (the probability that a leopard in the sampled area is photographed on a single sampling occasion) (Table 2.5.4d).The sample population was estimated to be eight leopards (SE ± 0.4827, 95% CI 6-6). When computing the 95% confidence interval, CAPTURE converts the values to the nearest integer, rather than printing decimals ( Jackson et al. 2006). ...
