Reliable assessment of animal populations is a long‐standing challenge in wildlife ecology.
Technological advances have led to widespread adoption of camera traps (CT s) to survey …

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 …

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

Obtaining unbiased estimates of wildlife distribution and abundance is an important
objective in research and management. Occupancy and N‐mixture abundance models …

Summary 1 Species distribution models (habitat models) relate the occurrence or
abundance of a species to environmental and/or geographical predictors that then allow …

Understanding how introduced plants reduce food web complexity is critical to effective
conservation management within human-dominated systems. In urban breeding birds, the …

Aim Species often remain undetected at sites where they are present. However, the impact
of imperfect detection on species distribution models (SDM s) is not fully appreciated. In this …

For the vast majority of cases, it is highly unlikely that all the individuals of a population will
be encountered during a study. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a constant fraction of the …

Conservation of threatened species relies on predictions about their spatial distribution;
however, it is often difficult to detect species in the wild. The combination of acoustic …

Site occupancy models have been developed that allow for imperfect species detection or
“false negative” observations. Such models have become widely adopted in surveys of …
