Parameters are organized in three groups: the first (ψ1τ0ε, from Equations 14) describes occupancy dynamics; the second (pσp, from Equations 58) describes detection; and the third (ψmax(eq)sε,max, based on Equations 9, 12, and 13) shows extreme values of equilibrium occupancy (maximum and minimum) and sensitivity (only maximum). Time intervals indicate the 95% credible intervals for the date with the most extreme value of the corresponding parameter and model. The first two groups of parameters are directly estimated from the data, the third is derived.
