The proportion of margay individuals detected with 1, 2, 3, …15 captures (black bars), and proportion of margay individuals detected at 1, 2, 3 …x stations (spatial recaptures, grey bars) for surveys differing in temporal and spatial effort: a) 12 annually repeated dry season 20-station surveys (2–3 months/survey) assessing detections per year (N = 115 individuals, mean distance between neighbouring stations = 2.0 km, mean trap effort ±SD = 2,195 ± 507 trap-nights/survey); b) Continuous year-round (2013–2014) 20-station survey (N = 43 individuals, mean distance between neighbouring stations = 2.0 km, trap effort = 9,262 trap-nights); c) 12 annually repeated 20-station surveys assessing detections across years (N = 131 individuals, mean distance between neighbouring stations = 2.0 km, total effort = 31,208 trap-nights); d) Continuous year-round (2016–2017) high-density survey (N = 33 individuals, mean distance between neighbouring stations = 0.14 km, trap effort = 11,486 trap-nights).
