[✓] [OBSERVED]
CLM-001 • observed in study
"Three adult tigers (one male and two females) were successfully translocated by Indian Air Force helicopters and reintroduced into Sariska Tiger Reserve from Ranthambhore between 2008 and 2009."
Source Anchor: Introduction & Methods - Translocation, p. 301-304
[✓] [OBSERVED]
CLM-002 • observed in study
"Reintroduced tigers initially explored extensive territories up to 220 square kilometres before establishing stabilized core ranges after two to three months."
Source Anchor: Results - Home Range Ranging Patterns, p. 305-309
[✓] [OBSERVED]
CLM-003 • observed in study
"Annual home ranges estimated via 100 percent Minimum Convex Polygon were 168.6 square kilometres for the male, 181.4 square kilometres for Tigress-1, and 223.4 square kilometres for Tigress-2."
Source Anchor: Results & Appendix 4 - Home Range Metrics, p. 305-318
[↗] [MODELLED]
CLM-004 • modelled result
"Distance sampling line transects estimated a high wild ungulate density of 107.8 animals per square kilometre, with an overall potential prey biomass of 21,618 kilograms per square kilometre."
Source Anchor: Results - Prey Abundance, p. 307-315
[✓] [OBSERVED]
CLM-005 • observed in study
"Fecal scat analysis revealed that Sambar (41.7 percent) and Chital (26.3 percent) constituted the primary dietary prey, with Ivlev's selectivity index confirming significant preference for Sambar."
Source Anchor: Results - Food Habits & Selectivity, p. 307-316
[i] [CONTEXT]
CLM-006 • editorial context
"Satellite GPS collar transmitters stopped uplinking data within two months of release, precluding automated continuous nocturnal tracking without intensive daily ground VHF radio-telemetry triangulation."
Source Anchor: Methods - Telemetry Tracking Constraints, p. 304
[✓] [OBSERVED]
CLM-007 • observed in study
"Domestic livestock remains appeared in 19.4 percent of collected scats, reflecting substantial human-carnivore interface across park enclave villages."
Source Anchor: Results - Livestock Predation, p. 308-317
[≈] [ASSOCIATION]
CLM-008 • estimated association
"Complete home-range overlap (59.4 square kilometres) between the adult male and Tigress-1 during the winter season was directly associated with successful pairing and courtship behavior."
Source Anchor: Results - Seasonal Range Overlap, p. 305-306
[✓] [OBSERVED]
CLM-009 • observed in study
"Indian peafowl density was the highest among all prey species (125.2 birds per square kilometre), yet zero peafowl remains were detected in tiger scats, demonstrating sharp size-selective predation avoidance."
"Population viability models indicate that scheduled supplementation of three tigers every two years for six years alongside voluntary village relocation is necessary for population persistence."
