Proportion of simulations for which the estimates of (a) occupancy for Species A (Ψ^A), (b) occupancy of Species B given Species A was present (Ψ^BA) and occupancy of Species B, given that Species A was absent (Ψ^Ba) when the simulated pattern was independence (i.e., Ψ^BA = Ψ^Ba), (c) Ψ^BA and Ψ^Ba when the simulated pattern was avoidance (i.e., Ψ^BA < Ψ^Ba), and (d) Ψ^BA and Ψ^Ba when the simulated pattern was aggregation (i.e., Ψ^BA > Ψ^Ba), was not different from the true simulated level of occupancy (based on 95% confidence intervals) when sites were closed or not closed (i.e., open) to changes in the occupancy state during sampling with sampling at N = 100 or 250 random sites and repeated surveys at a fine‐scale (FS) or large‐scale (LS) temporal resolution. Results presented are based on the most‐supported conditional two‐species occupancy model
