Figure 4

A comparison of our statewide population estimates and 95% credible intervals from the Bayesian state-space model (SSM, in brown) for Wisconsin (2009 to 2017) and the 2017 WDNR population estimate trend (in green). Also shown for comparison are the WNDR population estimate from 2009 (the initial population size for our SSM), the statewide trend in catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE, on the secondary y-axis in light blue), and the independent capture-recapture population estimate (for bears 1.5+) from tetracycline marking in 2011 with 95% confidence intervals (in dark blue).
