I review the use of auxiliary variables in capture-recapture models for estimation of
demographic parameters (eg capture probability, population size, survival probability, and …

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

Few species are likely to be so evident that they will always be detected at a site when
present. Recently a model has been developed that enables estimation of the proportion of …

Abstract Before-after-control-impact (BACI) designs are an effective method to evaluate
natural and human-induced perturbations on ecological variables when treatment sites …

Grizzly bears (brown bears; Ursus arctos) are imperiled in the southern extent of their range
worldwide. The threatened population in northwestern Montana, USA, has been managed …

The species most in need of conservation or management are often also the most difficult to
monitor, because of their rarity, secretive habits, or both. To combat these challenges …

Estimates of species' vital rates and an understanding of the factors affecting those
parameters over time and space can provide crucial information for management and …

Summary 1 Large‐scale habitat loss is frequently identified with loss of biodiversity, but
examples of the direct effect of habitat alterations on changes in vital rates remain rare …

1. In Fennoscandia during winter small rodents spend most of their time in the subnivean
space, between the snow cover and the ground. The subnivean space is probably not a …

While multi‐species occupancy models (MSOMs) are emerging as a popular method for
analyzing biodiversity data, formal checking and validation approaches for this class of …
