Path density around the den entrance
Path density around the den entrance reflects the activity intensity ofM. himalayana . There was an average of
2.68 ± 0.82 paths per den. The
path density for dens on shady slopes and sunny slopes and in flat areas
was 2.75 ± 0.97, 2.33 ± 0.75, and 2.88 ± 0.59, respectively; there were
no significant differences in path densities (F2, 128 =
3.28, P = 0.065) (Fig. 8).
