Table 1. Comparison between the standard occupancy model [28] and the model using spatial replicates with potential auto-correlation of sign detections among them [54] used to generate estimates of dhole habitat occupancy at landscape scale (Western Ghats, India, 2006–2007) and habitat-use at reserve scale (Bandipur Tiger Reserve, India, 2012).
