Figure 1.

Figures 1A to 1D are titled Spatial reduction (fewer sites), Temporal reduction (fewer visits), Temporal restriction (fewer seasons), and Temporal restriction (fewer days per hours), plotting Cost (number of work days), ranging from 40 to 280 in increments of 80 (left y-axis) and Model performance (cross-validated uppercase r squared), ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 in increments of 0.1 (right y-axis) across number of sites (number per 100 kilometer squared), ranging as 100 (8), 150 (12), 200 (17), 250 (21), and 300 (26: complete reference design); number of repeat visits per site, ranging from 5 to 25 in increments of 5 and 25 to 29 (complete reference design) in increments of 4, number of seasons, ranging from 2 to 4 (reduced reference design) in unit increments, and day per hour, ranging as business, rush, weekday, and all (reduced reference design) (x-axis).

Relationships between the number of work days and median CV R2s across complete and alternative mobile monitoring designs according to the number of sites (A), visits (B), seasons (C), and days and hours (D) from the ACT-TRAP mobile monitoring campaign. The “ref” and “ref*” indicate the complete all-data reference and reduced reference designs, respectively. The open red circles and blue diamonds represent cost (number of work days) and CV R2s, respectively, from the complete reference design that serves as the gold standard for comparing spatially reduced alternative designs with fewer sites (A) or temporally reduced alternatives with fewer visits (B). The red stars and blue diamonds with cross represent work days and CV R2s, respectively, from the reduced reference design that is equivalent to the complete all-data design except reduced to 12 visits instead of 29 and is used as the “complete” design for temporally restricted alternative designs with fewer seasons, days, or hours (C and D). In (B), the black dotted horizontal and vertical lines highlight the CV R2 for the reduced reference design.
