Integrated population models (IPMs) represent the single, unified analysis of population
count data and demographic data. This modelling framework is quite novel and can be …

Assessing the impacts of ongoing climate and anthropogenic-induced change on wildlife
populations requires understanding species distributions and abundances across large …

Understanding and forecasting species' geographic distributions in the face of global
change is a central priority in biodiversity science. The existing view is that one must choose …

An important first step in studying the demography of wild animals is to identify the animals
uniquely through applying markings, such as rings, tags, and bands. Once the animals are …

In Borchers et al.(2002), a unifying framework was given for the plethora of methods for
estimating the abundance of closed populations of animals. In Chap. 13 of that book, the …

Population dynamics models have long assumed that populations are composed of a
restricted number of groups, where individuals in each group have identical demographic …

Many migratory species are in decline across their geographical ranges. Single‐population
studies can provide important insights into drivers at a local scale, but effective conservation …

A major aim of bird ringing is to provide information about the migration and movements of
bird populations. However, in comparison with demographic studies, little research has …

Abstract Changes to weather patterns under a warming climate are complex: while warmer
temperatures are expected virtually worldwide, decreased mean precipitation is expected at …

Statistical and mathematical models are defined by parameters that describe different
characteristics of those models. Ideally it would be possible to find parameter estimates for …
