Margay detections by camera trap stations deployed from 2003 to 2017 in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, Belize, showing number of margay individuals (males, females and unknown sex, unk), number of independent margay detection events, and detection rate (margay detections per 100 trap-nights) for all stations, the annual 20-station surveys, the year-long 20-station survey (‘13–14) and the year-long high-density survey (‘16–17)
