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).

Because animal carcasses often serve as reservoirs for pathogens, their location and removal are crucial in controlling the spread of diseases. During carcass decomposition, heat is emitted due to microbial activity and the development of maggots. Recent studies have shown that infrared sensors can be used to locate animal carcasses, but little is known about the factors influencing detection success.
