---|---|---|---|---|
Presence | Suited, but possibly not ideal for arboreal species | “Suited” (risk of identifying carcasses) | Suited but restricted to preferred hosts, if any | Suited but restricted to preferred hosts, if any |
Occupancy | Suited but potential violation of constant occupancy assumption | Collection location not necessarily equal to host location (risk of identifying carcasses) | Collection location not necessarily equal to host location | Suited but potential violation of ‘closure’ assumption |
(S) CR | Potential violation of population closure assumption | Collection location not necessarily equal to host location; very low success rate of microsatellite-based genotyping (risk of identifying carcasses) | Collection location not necessarily equal to host location | Suited (?) |
