Connections reflect the degree of spatial overlap between competing carnivores, derived from intercept parameters associated with second-order occurrence in multi-species, multi-state models. Interactions are color coded to reflect a gradient of spatial habitat partitioning, ranging from co-occurrence (positive values, blue hues) to avoidance (negative values, red hues). A value of zero (white hues) indicates that occurrence patterns between two species are spatially independent. The magnitude of the interaction is expressed by the width of the connecting line.
