Table 4 Estimated components of detectability. Components of detectability are defined as follows: \( \overline{N} \) is the average number of movement paths crossing the plot per day over a 26.8d period; \( {\overline{r}}_c \) is the average probability of an animal visiting a given camera during a plot visit; r_t is the probability that a camera triggers, given a camera visit; and r_p is the probability of a camera producing a useable photograph of the animal if the camera triggers. Average daily detection probability (\( \overline{p} \)) and ideal average daily detection probability (\( {\overline{p}}_{ideal} \)) for a single camera are empirically derived from these components, with \( {\overline{p}}_{ideal} \) representing a hypothetical scenario in which cameras perfectly detected passing animals
