Covariates include habitat variables, movement parameters, and indirect assessments of mountain lions and their kills. Indirect metrics were quantified based on predictions of the probability of occurrence for risk and reward based on habitat associations. The following are provided for each predictor: beta coefficient (β), robust standard error estimate (SE), z‐score (z), p‐value (p). Coyote, mountain lion, and kill site data collected during May 2017–September 2020 in southwestern Wyoming, USA. Boldface indicates variables where p < .05.
