Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution. At the individual level, the three
stages of the dispersal process (ie, emigration, transience and immigration) are affected by …

Many fields of science begin with a phase of exploration and description, followed by
investigations of the processes that account for observed patterns. The science of ecology is …

Occupancy Estimation and Modeling: Inferring Patterns and Dynamics of Species
Occurrence, Second Edition, provides a synthesis of model-based approaches for analyzing …

Daily precipitation in California has been projected to become less frequent even as
precipitation extremes intensify, leading to uncertainty in the overall response to climate …

The ongoing recovery of terrestrial large carnivores in North America and Europe is
accompanied by intense controversy. On the one hand, reestablishment of large carnivores …

Capture–recapture models were originally developed to account for encounter probabilities
that are less than 1 in free-ranging animal populations. Nowadays, these models can deal …

Abstract Multievent models (Pradel 2005, 2008) handle state uncertainty, and they therefore
cover a range of situations like hidden capture heterogeneity and sex determination from …

Detecting individuals of amphibian and reptile species can be a daunting task. Detection
can be hindered by various factors such as cryptic behavior, color patterns, or observer …

Recent extensions of occupancy modeling have focused not only on the distribution of
species over space, but also on additional state variables (eg, reproducing or not, with or …

The use of noninvasive genetic sampling to identify individual animals for capture–recapture
studies has become widespread in the past decade. Strong emphasis has been placed on …
