Table S1: Rabbit abundance estimates for a.) total population and b.) adults only within the study warrens at Oaky Creek and Valpine during all seasons over the study year. The best model according to CAPTURE is shown together with model estimator used, abundance estimate, standard error (SE), coefficient of variation (CV), 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), and mean capture probability (p).
