(track-to-density) conversion factor


Explanation:
It would be helpful to know which formula is being used.
As far as I understand, коэффициент следовой активности = пересчетный коэффициент (conversion factor). It converts the number of track counts to population density. The conversion factor (coefficient) depends on how far an animal travels in a day (day range).

track index

One such useful density index uses animal tracks or footprints recorded on paper placed inside tubes or tunnels (Glennon et al. 2002; King and Edgar 1977; Merriam 1990; van Apeldoorn et al. 1993). The proportion of tubes with animal tracks (the “track index”), or the number of tracks per tube, can then be calculated. A key advantage of tracking tubes is that they do not need to be checked daily (Mabee 19
