Detection probabilities
For both seasons, the models that included that latent presence/absence of a potentially dominant species as a detection covariate performed significantly better than those that did not (∆AIC > 5). The top models for each season did not vary in their detection covariates; both models included distance to stream and the latent presence/absence of all species as species specific detection covariates. For both seasons, lynx, wildcat, and wolf detections were positively associated with the presence of the other two species (Table A1).
