Note: Model rankings are based on Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC).

^aCovariates used to model detection probability were Block (B), Wild prey index (WildP), Principal prey index (PrincipP), Disturbance (Dist) and proportional habitat per cell (Hab).

^bIn all models the probability of detection () was modelled as ‘B + Substrate’ based on model selection results presented in Table 1. Segment-level occupancy parameters ( and ) were modelled on ‘B’ (Block). ‘×’ denotes covariates were modelled as an interaction.
