translate into errors of population abundance estimates in our study population. Second, we simulated 1000 snow leopard capture histories for each of a variety of capture occasions and capture probabilities while introducing splitting errors (up to 5) to examine more generally how the creation of new (ghost) individual identities to the capture history influences population abundance estimates (Appendix S4 and S5).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
