Posterior median estimates (dots) with 90% credible intervals (error bars) for time-dependent wildfire effects on avian species occupancy at the Payette National Forest (ID, USA). Estimates are for all 24 species with statistically supported time-dependent disturbance effects or notable changes in annual occupancy overall (see full species names in Table 2). Error bars are color coded based on statistical support (credible intervals excluding zero) and direction (orange = positive; blue = negative). Positive versus negative values indicate occupancy shifts towards versus away from (respectively) high-severity burned sites after wildfire. βWildfire CBI represents \( {\beta}_{CBI_{\mathrm{WF}},i\left({t}_{\mathrm{WF}}\epsilon \left\{1,2,3\right\}\right)}-{\beta}_{CBI_{\mathrm{WF}},i\left({t}_{\mathrm{WF}}=0\right)} \) in Eq. 6, where tWF = 1, 2, and 3 correspond with 2008 (Y1), 2009 (Y2), and 2010 (Y3)
