House mice(Mus musculus domesticus Schwarz&Schwarz,1943)are monitored in Australia and China to track changes in mouse population densities and forecast their potential damage to cereal *** present study compared population indices based on the number of different mice caught and overall trap success from live-trapping with an oil card index(OC)and a tracking index(T)for monitoring mice in sorghum crops immediately before crop maturation.T was measured as the percentage of track board covered with mouse footprints night-1,and OC as the percentage of card removed by mice *** reliability of these abundance indices was quantified by Pearson correlation coefficient with the trappable population size(Ñ),which was estimated by capture-recapture over eight consecutive nights on 175×5 trapping grids,in sorghum crops on two properties on the Darling Downs,*** of differences among individual mice in capture probability,Model Mh of program MARK was used to account for such heterogeneity and to estimate the size of each mouse *** number of individual animals caught was more strongly correlated withÑthan trap success and,therefore,might be a more reliable index;the data suggest that three trapping occasions provide optimal precision for this index.T correlated significantly withÑonly at sites where the canopy of sorghum plants was closed,and its use should,therefore,be restricted to this *** did not correlate withÑbecause none or very little of the cards was eaten at low to moderate mouse densities.T and the number of animals caught over three trapping nights are recommended for monitoring mice in sorghum crops immediately prior to crop maturation.

This paper presents a game theory-based method for predicting the outcomes of negotiation and group decision-making problems. We propose an extension to the BDM model to address problems where actors’ positions are distributed over a position spectrum. We generalize the concept of position in the model to incorporate continuous positions for the actors, enabling them to have more flexibility in defining their targets. We explore different possible functions to study the role of the position function and discuss appropriate distance measures for computing the distance between the positions of actors. To validate the proposed extension, we demonstrate the trustworthiness of our model’s performance and interpretation by replicating the results based on data used in earlier studies.
