The dependence upon aspect ratio and connectedness range of the percolation threshold for monodisperse spherocylinders as calculated from an analogy between lattice and continuum percolation is compared with findings from: (i) recent Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, and: (ii) a recent elaboration of an integral equation-based approach that uses the connectedness Ornstein-Zernike equation. The results from each of these approaches are found to be in reasonable semi-quantitative agreement, especially for the case of particles that have a finite hard core diameter.
