Notable Changes in Conservation Status of Vultures in Uttar Pradesh, India: A Study Based on Occupancy and Habitat Modelling
Vultures are key to the functioning of ecosystems but they are assessed to be threatened globally and their numbers are at-risk due to changes in...
-
A Gibbs sampler for multi-species occupancy models
Multi-species occupancy (MSO) models use detection-nondetection data from species observed at different locations to estimate the probability that a...

Evaluation of anthropogenic pressure on the occupancy patterns of large mammals in the Western and Eastern Ghats
ContextHabitat loss limits the dispersal of wide-ranging large mammals. It is pivotal to study the ecological and anthropogenic factors driving the...

Checking in at bee hotels: trap-nesting occupancy and fitness of cavity-nesting bees in an urbanised biodiversity hotspot
With urbanisation leading to loss of nesting resources, and increasing public interest in hel** bees, bee hotels (trap-nests) are becoming...

Occupancy and co-occurrence patterns of endemic mammals and introduced predators across a broad geographical gradient in eastern Australia
Invasive predators, land clearing and altered fire regimes have been implicated in species decline and extinction worldwide. Enhanced knowledge of...

Unraveling a paradox of habitat relationships: scale-dependent drivers of temporal occupancy-abundance relationships in a cooperatively breeding bird
ContextSpatial occupancy and local abundance of species often positively covary, but the mechanisms driving this widespread relationship are poorly...

Estimates of wildlife species richness, occupancy, and habitat preference in a residential landscape in New York State
Despite the widespread adoption of motion-triggered camera traps, studies using camera traps to characterize wildlife communities in residential...

Site occupancy of Dasypus novemcinctus (Mammalia, Cingulata) and daily activity of four armadillo species in the Uruguayan Savanna and southern Atlantic Forest
Site occupancy and daily activity remain mostly unknown for many species of armadillo. Seeking to address this issue for four cooccurring species ( Cab...

Habitat Suitability Index is not relevant for great crested newt occupancy at its range margins: a Mediterranean case study
For effective conservation, robust tools that can measure and predict spatio-temporal population variation are required, especially for species in...

Sympatric procyonids in the Atlantic Forest: revealing differences in detection, occupancy, and activity of the coati and the crab-eating raccoon in a gradient of anthropogenic alteration
The coati ( Nasua nasua ) and the crab-eating raccoon ( Procyon cancrivorus ) are sympatric procyonids that are relatively abundant and appear to exhibit...

Species richness, relative abundance and occupancy of ground-dwelling mammals denote the ineffectiveness of chimpanzee as flagship species
In conservation biology, flagship species are defined as species that can raise support for biodiversity conservation in a given place or social...

Occupancy of Sympatric Central Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) and Western Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) in Campo Ma’an Conservation Area, Southern Cameroon
Sympatric primate species coexist in tropical communities through interactions with the abiotic environment and other species. Determining the...

Determinants of habitat occupancy and spatial segregation of primates in the central Western Ghats, India
Primates are among the globally imperiled fauna requiring urgent conservation interventions to protect their habitat. Information on species...

Mesopredator occupancy patterns in a small city in an intensively agricultural region
US Corn Belt landscapes are heavily anthropogenic, consisting of a vast agricultural matrix with embedded urban areas. Little non-agricultural...
-
Inter-specific variability in demographic processes affects abundance-occupancy relationships
Species with large local abundances tend to occupy more sites. One of the mechanisms proposed to explain this widely reported inter-specific...

Large-scale geostatistical map** and occupancy-abundance patterns of Cerambyx species threatening SW Spain oak forests
Wood-boring insects are considered potential contributing/inciting factors to oak decline. Cerambyx cerdo (Cc) and C. welensii (Cw) are two sympatric...
