Fig. 1 The three comparisons considered within our study: a) Raccoon temporal activity was compared between sites; b) raccoon activity was compared between years, and across zones of coyote intensity of use within each site; c) the results from the within site comparisons of raccoon time use in response to coyotes were compared across sites.
Fig. 2 Kernel density (KD) heatmaps of coyote spatial use at the four study sites based on the number of independent coyote detections at each camera. From north to south, the Huron Mountain Club (HMC), the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS), the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge (SNWR), and the Detroit Metroparks (DMP). These represent a single year at each of the sites; hotspots in coyote detections varied by year, and KD maps were generated for each survey.
Fig. 3 Mean temporal overlap (Δtemporal) between raccoons and coyotes in high and low spatial zones of coyote activity with 95% confidence intervals.
Fig. 4 Mean temporal overlap (Δ Overlap) in raccoon activity conducted pairwise between sites with 95% confidence intervals. The letters correspond with each site (H=HMC, U=UMBS, S=SNWR, D=DMP), with the site it was compared to on the axis below. The differences between sites in each pairwise comparison were significant (using the MWW test).
Fig. 5 Raccoon activity across all four sites. Time use of raccoons was summed for all surveys within a site.
