Abstract Understanding predator-prey interactions, particularly how species use space and time to influence encounter rates, is crucial in ecology. Camera traps, while not being able to directly measure encounters of large free-roaming species, can help estimating how species tolerate or avoid proximity with eachother.

1 INTRODUCTION Camera traps have become widely employed for assessing species interactions (Sollmann, 2018). Species interactions have often been studied based on the spatial (e.g. MacKenzie et al., 2004) and temporal overlap (e.g. Ridout & Linkie, 2009) between two species. Recently, though, there was a growing methodological interest in proximate co-occurrence, defined as the conditional probability of one species occurring after another within a specified time window (Schliep et al., 2018).
