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).
