Table 2. Co-occurrence detection models used to evaluate the effect of detection and/or presence of one ground-dwelling tinamou species on the detection of the other (the brown tinamou (Crypturellus obsoletus) and tataupa tinamou (C. tataupa)) in a seasonal Atlantic forest remnant in Brazil.

Models indicate the same (=) or different () β parameters for the conditional p or r probabilities. Models with ΔAIC < 2 are marked in bold. For detailed description of detection parameters see Methods section. K = no. of parameters. wi = Akaike weight. LL = twice the negative log-likelihood. Slope = terrain slope. Temp = temperature.

All detection models included the best model for occupancy from the co-occurrence models (ΨAΨBA = ΨBa; ElevationA ≠ Elevation BA = ElevationBa.

Covariates indicate that the effect of terrain slope is different for each species (SlopeA ≠ SlopeB), while temperature is the same.
