Building useful models of species distributions requires attention to several important issues,
one being imperfect detection of species. Data sets of species detections are likely to suffer …

Acoustic surveys are a widely used sampling tool in ecological research and monitoring.
They are used to monitor populations and ecosystems and to study various aspects of …

There is increasing availability and use of unstructured and semi‐structured citizen science
data in biodiversity research and conservation. This expansion of a rich source of 'big …

Motion‐activated cameras (“camera traps”) are increasingly used in ecological and
management studies for remotely observing wildlife and are amongst the most powerful …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis allows the simultaneous examination of organisms
across multiple trophic levels and domains of life, providing critical information about the …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly proposed to support conservation
decision making. However, evidence of SDMs supporting solutions for on‐ground …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely applied to understand the processes
governing spatial and temporal variation in species abundance and distribution but often do …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is increasingly used to study the present and
past biodiversity. eDNA analyses often rely on amplification of very small quantities or …

With the advance of methods for estimating species distribution models has come an interest
in how to best combine datasets to improve estimates of species distributions. This has …

Camera traps deployed in grids or stratified random designs are a well‐established survey
tool for wildlife but there has been little evaluation of study design parameters. We used an …
