Hi all,
I am currently learning how to use the PRESENCE software. Therefore, pardon my question if very basic. I am trying to set up a model to analyze the co-occurrence rate of two species. I have the presence/absence data with a sampling occasion of 24 hrs for each of the species from 250 camera stations and each of these stations has been active for about 6-8 weeks. However, these cameras were not all active at the same time i.e. they were all activated on different days even months apart. My question is with regards to entering the data in the Presence input file. Should I take the dates into consideration while entering each value? Since some cameras might be active while the others are not.
Also, should I enter a "0" for each sampling occasion the camera is inactive?
Thank you.
