Table 2.

Ethograms of the possible quantitative behaviors of wild dogs, foxes, feral cats, and spotted‐tailed quolls in response to camera traps (CT) at each stage and phase of a camera trapping event (a), and their facial, movement, and action behavioral responses to camera traps (b). The numbers in brackets in Table (a) relate to the number of response categories in Table (b) that were available for each phase of an event. Although the actions of predators in response to camera traps were observed and classified, occurrences of many were too few for comparisons, so these were omitted from further analysis

(a) Stage	Components	Phase	Quantitative behaviors
Pre‐CT encounter	Animal	Preencounter travel	Move toward	Move away
Encounter with CT	Animal + CT	Encounter (triggers CT)	No observed response indicating detect CT	Observed response indicating detect CT
		Initial response	No observed reaction	Observe CT (3)
		Movement relative to CT	Stop	Move (4)
		Response to ongoing stimuli	No observed reaction	Observe CT (3)
		Behavior relative to CT	Move (3)	Act (7)
Post‐CT encounter	Animal	Postencounter travel	Move toward	Move away

(b) Observe response	Move response	Act response
Glance	Startle	Sniff
Look	Continue	Groom
	Retreat	Roll
Stare	Move toward	Mark
	Move away	Piloerection
		Sleep
		Stalk
