We examine the trends in population abundance and sex ratio, and estimate the detectability, survival probability and probabilities of temporary emigration and immigration for adult and
young snow leopards.
We used robust design multi-season mark - recapture analysis to estimate the trends in abundance, sex ratio, survival probability and the probability of temporary emigration and immigration for adult and
young snow leopards.
Young snow leopards showed a high probability of temporary emigration and immigration (0.6, SE + − 0.19 and 0.68, SE + − 0.32 before and after the age of 2 years) though not the adults (0.02 SE + − 0.07).
We tested if the parameters for
these young snow leopards remained the same after 2 years, became similar to other known adults, or were entirely different from young and adult snow leopards.
