Conservation managers often monitor umbrella species as indicators of broader biodiversity patterns, but this assumption is seldom evaluated due to lack survey data and objective criteria. We the performance eight candidate in representing patterns mammal Sumatra, Indonesia, using a comprehensive camera trap dataset from island's largest remaining tropical rainforest. employed an occupancy modeling framework quantify association between species-level four community-level parameters while accounting for imperfect detection. Sambar deer clouded leopard were consistently ranked top umbrellas. Areas where these prevalent associated with higher levels community occupancy, richness, functional phylogenetic diversity. Sumatran tiger rhino among lower umbrellas, inadequately represented other despite being main subjects monitoring. Our results demonstrate that occurrence status charismatic commonly regarded umbrellas does not necessarily represent biodiversity. Species are frequently overlooked by conservation decision-making may better overall advocate utilizing fleets multiple monitored encourage application our data-driven assess performance.
