Hi Ken,
Just to see if my models are usable here is the output for the unmarked model:
Head
Predicted SE lower upper acd
1 5.323980 2.494605 0.4346445 10.21332 4
2 6.757680 3.034477 0.8102155 12.70515 5

301 435.4340 169.5587 103.1050 767.7630 304
And here they are for the binary GLM:

301 304 -1.292179 0.7653785 0.2079632 -2.792321 Buprestidae
Looking at the models, the occupancy isn't higher overall but it is more spread out. This could be due to low detection probabilities though I'd assume? And if so would I be correct in saying the unmarked models are a truer reflection of the actual data than the naive binary glms?
