Covariates effect on the occupancy of Neotropical spotted cats.
Influence of geomorphometry, environmental, and anthropogenic covariates on the occupancy of spotted cats in a large Atlantic Forest remnant, showing the sum of wi (which indicates the relative importance of covariates) and the associated beta estimates with standard error estimated from the single-season single-species models.
