Table 4. The nestedness contribution (NC) scores and occurrence rate for the 7 most frequent scavenger species at each carcass type.

	Puma Kill	Puma Control	Black Bear Present	Black Bear Absent
Species	NC (occurrence)	NC (occurrence)	NC (occurrence)	NC (occurrence)
Bobcat	0.91 (8.6%)	0.77 (15.5%)	0.74 (4.7%)	0.54 (27.7%)
Common Raven	0.77 (22.4%)	0.78 (27.6%)	0.90 (41.9%)	0.68 (44.7%)
Coyote	0.75 (25.9%)	0.81 (36.2%)	0.97 (23.3%)	0.64 (38.3%)
Fisher	0.89 (17.2%)	0.53 (22.4%)	0.89 (20.9%)	0.71 (34.0%)
Gray Fox	0.93 (37.9%)	0.85 (48.3%)	0.82 (25.6%)	0.93 (59.6%)
Spotted Skunk	0.83 (17.2%)	0.86 (13.8%)	0.87 (2.3%)	0.92 (10.6%)
Turkey Vulture	0.71 (19.0%)	0.65 (22.4%)	0.94 (46.5%)	0.40 (23.4%)

A higher NC score indicates that the occurrence of the species is more structured, and rate of occurrence is noted as the percent of carcasses at which the species was present.
