Space use is one factor affecting detections on CTs. Here, two aspects of space use are considered: home‐range size and movement rate. (a) Individuals with smaller home ranges overlap fewer cameras on average (and those with very small ranges may not overlap any cameras). (b) Individuals with larger home ranges overlap and can be detected at more cameras. (c) Individuals that move through their home range more slowly will take longer to encounter cameras. (d) Individuals that move more quickly encounter cameras more frequently within the same span of time and produce more detections. Thus, detection rate is a function of both the relative abundance of the population, as well as the space use of the animals that make up that population
