Single-season occupancy model selection results.

Performance of a-priori models to describe the influence of vocalization broadcast on probability of detection (p) of American red squirrel during point count surveys during the summers of 2016 and 2017 in western Newfoundland. All models were based on an optimal model for site occupancy (ψ) that incorporated elevation and extents of conifer scrub, open habitat and water within the survey area [21]. The null model only includes habitat variables influencing occupancy and was used to assess the explanatory power of the competing models regarding detectability.
