Open AccessLong-term trends of local bird populations based on monitoring schemes: are they suitable for justifying management measures?
Local biodiversity monitoring is important to assess the effects of global change, but also to evaluate the performance of landscape and wildlife protection, since large-scale assessments may buffer local fluc...

Open AccessMovement-assisted localization from acoustic telemetry data
Acoustic telemetry technologies are being increasingly deployed to study a variety of aquatic taxa including fishes, reptiles, and marine mammals. Large cooperative telemetry networks produce vast quantities o...

Open AccessUsing bear rub data and spatial capture-recapture models to estimate trend in a brown bear population
Trends in population abundance can be challenging to quantify during range expansion and contraction, when there is spatial variation in trend, or the conservation area is large. We used genetic detection data...

Open AccessModeling spatially and temporally complex range dynamics when detection is imperfect
Species distributions are determined by the interaction of multiple biotic and abiotic factors, which produces complex spatial and temporal patterns of occurrence. As habitats and climate change due to anthrop...

Open AccessLarge-scale variation in density of an aquatic ecosystem indicator species
Monitoring indicator species is a pragmatic approach to natural resource assessments, especially when the link between the indicator species and ecosystem state is well justified. However, conducting ecosystem...

Spatially explicit dynamic N-mixture models
Knowledge of demographic parameters such as survival, reproduction, emigration, and immigration is essential to understand metapopulation dynamics. Traditionally the estimation of these demographic parameters ...

Concepts: Assessing Tiger Population Dynamics Using Capture–Recapture Sampling
Capture-recapture can be viewed as an animal survey method in which the count statistic is the total number of animals caught, and the associated detection probability is the probability of capture.

Concepts and Practices: Estimating Abundance of Prey Species Using Hierarchical Model-Based Approaches
Tigers predominantly prey on large ungulate species, such as sambar (Cervus unicolor), red deer (Cervus elaphus), gaur (Bos gaurus), banteng (Bos javanicus), chital (Axis axis), muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak), wild ...

Open AccessIntegrating occurrence and detectability patterns based on interview data: a case study for threatened mammals in Equatorial Guinea
Occurrence models that account for imperfect detection of species are increasingly used for estimating geographical range, for determining species-landscape relations and to prioritize conservation actions wor...

Open AccessStudy of biological communities subject to imperfect detection: bias and precision of community N-mixture abundance models in small-sample situations
Community N-mixture abundance models for replicated counts provide a powerful and novel framework for drawing inferences related to species abundance within communities subject to imperfect detection. To assess t...

Spatial capture–recapture models allowing Markovian transience or dispersal
Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are a relatively recent development in quantitative ecology, and they are becoming widely used to model density in studies of animal populations using camera traps, DNA s...

Estimating landscape resistance to dispersal
Dispersal is an inherently spatial process that can be affected by habitat conditions in sites encountered by dispersers. Understanding landscape resistance to dispersal is important in connectivity studies an...

Inference for finite-sample trajectories in dynamic multi-state site-occupancy models using hidden Markov model smoothing
Ecologists and wildlife biologists increasingly use latent variable models to study patterns of species occurrence when detection is imperfect. These models have recently been generalized to accommodate both a...

Biodiversity of man-made open habitats in an underused country: a class of multispecies abundance models for count data
Since the 1960s, Japan has become highly dependent on foreign countries for natural resources, and the amount of managed lands (e.g. coppice, grassland, and agricultural field) has declined. Due to infrequent ...

Spatial modeling of survival and residency and application to the Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship program
Broad-scale bird-ringing programs are a core component of national and international avian monitoring and research efforts. Despite rich spatial structure in data from these programs, little attention has been...

Parameter-expanded data augmentation for Bayesian analysis of capture–recapture models
Data augmentation (DA) is a flexible tool for analyzing closed and open population models of capture–recapture data, especially models which include sources of hetereogeneity among individuals. The essential c...

Hierarchical Spatial Capture–Recapture Models for Estimating Density from Trap** Arrays
Much of the theory and methodology underlying inference about population size is concerned with populations that are well-defined in the sense that one can randomly sample individuals associated with some loca...
