Trappability statistics and estimated population size using mark-recapture methods for each session (1–5) of the Kilkenny study area.

The captures are presented both including and excluding the potentially biased estimates of session five.∧excluding partial sessions 0 and 6.*excluding potentially biased estimates from session 5.n is the number of badgers captured; T is the closed-subpopulation; t is the number of badgers captured from T; N is the estimated population from the closed-subpopulation model (CSpM); MNA is the minimum number alive; pCSpM is the trappability for each ith session derived from the CSpM; pMNA is the trappability for each ith session derived from the MNA estimates; 95% CI is the exact confidence intervals for a proportion assuming no prior information.
