Leopard Panthera pardus fusca Density in the Seasonally Dry, Subtropical Forest in the Bhabhar of Terai Arc, Nepal

Table 2

Closure test and model selection (after Otis et al. [33]) for leopard population size estimation using photographic capture-recapture data from Parsa Wildlife Reserve in Program CAPTURE. DFS is the discriminant function score. The 𝑀_𝑏 shows the Behavioral effect, while 𝑀_ℎ shows the heterogeneity effect and the 𝑀_𝑜 shows the constant null model.
