Numbers of dual captures among three rodent species

||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Species | No. | % | No. | % | Bonferronia 95%confidence intervals |
| Peromyscus maniculatus | 23 | 53.5 | 20.8 | 48.8 | 34.5%<P<72.5% |
| P. truei | 0 (1)b | 0.0 (2.3)b | 8.5 | 19.7 | 0.0%<P<8.0%c |
| Reithrodontomys megalotis | 15 | 34.9 | 6.3 | 14.6 | 15.8%<P<54.0%d |
aSignificant differences occur between the observed and expected percentage of dual captures when the expected falls outside the 95% Bonferroni confidence interval of the observed proportion.
b One P. truei was captured with a P. maniculatus. Values in parentheses and those generated for expected and Bonferroni 95% confidence interval categories assume observed dual captures = 1.
c P<0.05 observed less than expected.
d P<0.05 observed greater than expected.
