Cumulative Data: 1999-2016

A total of 234 mongoose were captured 305 times during eight trapping sessions conducted from 2003 to 2010 on Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge, St. Croix, VI (Table 1). Sex ratios were tested against a 1:1 ratio and recapture rates were tested using a Pearson Chi Square test and a Fisher's Exact Test at p=0.05. Sex ratios within each trapping session were not significantly different from expected values. The probability of recapturing individuals from each age class and sex within or between trapping sessions were also not significantly different.
