  1. Habitat-based population estimates for the 9 patches of Amur leopard habitat within their current range, 28 patches of Amur leopard habitat within their potential range in northeastern China based on Amur leopard population density predication of generalized additive model (GAM) developed in the parts of Hunchun–Wangqing region with camera trap data collected from April 2013 to July 2014. Patch name, area and predicted population size (with 95% credible interval [CI]) are shown for each ofthe 37 habitat patches.
