The rapid improvement of camera traps in recent decades has revolutionized biodiversity
monitoring. Despite clear applications in conservation science, camera traps have seldom …

Negative binomial modelling is one of the most commonly used statistical tools for analysing
count data in ecology and biodiversity research. This is not surprising given the prevalence …

The use of camera traps to estimate population size when animals are not individually
recognizable is gaining traction in the ecological literature, because of its applicability in …

To analyze species count data when detection is imperfect, ecologists need models to
estimate relative abundance in the presence of unknown sources of heterogeneity. Two …

Reliable and accurate information on animal abundance is fundamental for the conservation
and management of wildlife. Recently, a number of innovative devices (such as camera …

Hierarchical N‐mixture models have been suggested for abundance estimation from
spatiotemporally replicated drone‐based count surveys, since they allow modeling …

Monitoring wildlife abundance across space and time is an essential task to study their
population dynamics and inform effective management. Acoustic recording units are a …

Roads threaten animal species through habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation, and
direct mortality. It is crucial to understand how species respond to linear infrastructure for …

Aim The importance of framing investigations of organism–environment relationships to
interpret patterns at relevant spatial scales is increasingly recognized. However, most …

Globally, the river ecosystems are threatened due to human-driven exploitation and
indiscriminate resource use. The rate of species loss is a magnitude higher in these …
