Trap array configurations.

<p>Location of the extensive and intensive configurations to estimate black bear density in south-central Missouri, USA. State space boundary for extensive (solid line) and intensive (dotted line) configurations represents the area used to estimate population size. For the extensive design, snares (black circles) were allocated proportionate to density of historical bear sightings. For the intensive design, five arrays were distributed in areas of expected bear occurrence and one snare was placed in each cell; specific locations omitted for clarity. The five arrays were designated alphabetically (A–E) from west to east.
