Table 1.
Covariates used in multi-method occupancy modeling of camera trap detections.
Table 2.
Mean (not overall) capture rates (CR) and events (Evts.) for all 19 species photographed across 54 paired camera stations.
Fig 1.
Sample-based species accumulation curve from 30 paired cameras, run for an average of 25.4 camera nights, with one camera in each pair oriented toward a log feature, and the other at a nearby (mean = 15.1 m) random location.
Shaded areas represent the 95% confidence intervals, with darker shaded areas representing confidence interval overlap between the two scenarios. Black dots indicate the actual sampling effort of this study. The vertical line with label indicates the point at which the confidence intervals of the feature and control groups overlap.
Fig 2.
Sample-based species accumulation curve from 24 paired cameras, run for an average of 25.6 camera nights, with one camera in each pair oriented toward a trail feature, and the other at a nearby (mean = 23.5 m) random location.
Shaded areas represent the 95% confidence intervals, with darker shaded areas representing confidence interval overlap between the two scenarios. Black dots indicate the actual sampling effort of this study. The vertical line with label indicates the point at which the confidence intervals of the feature and control groups overlap.
