Accuracy of movement-based methods used to infer whether or not a female mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) had given birth during 2023 in Utah, USA. Methods include the Peterson method, analysis of parturition indicators (API), rolling minimum convex polygons method (rMCP), population based method (PBM), behavioral change point analysis (BCPA), and the individual based method (IBM). The proportion of accurate estimates is the proportion of the study population whose status of parturition (i.e., parturient or barren) was correctly identified by each of the methods
