Proportion of correct estimates of the timing of parturition of female mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) derived from various methods. Methods include the analysis of parturition indicators (API), behavioral point change analysis (BCPA), the individual based method (IBM), the Peterson method, the Population Based Method (PBM) and rolling minimum convex polygons method (rMCP). Precision changes as deviation from the actual date of parturition increases, and among methods (shaded areas represents the 95% confidence intervals). Timing of parturition for female deer was observed during 2023 in Utah, USA
