  1. ‘Extent’ refers to the radius around camera-trap stations from which covariate values were extracted. Cumulative ΔAIC was calculated for each radius over all six species. A lower cumulative ΔAIC indicates that a given radius is, on average, closer to the top model than one with a higher cumulative ΔAIC.
