The past decade has seen an explosion in the development and application of models
aimed at estimating species occurrence and occupancy dynamics while accounting for …

Burmese pythons (Python molurus bivittatus) are native to southeastern Asia, however, there
is an established invasive population inhabiting much of southern Florida throughout the …

Biodiversity conservation faces a methodological conundrum: Biodiversity measurement
often relies on species, most of which are rare at various scales, especially prone to …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring approaches promise to greatly improve detection of
rare, endangered and invasive species in comparison with traditional field approaches …

Biodiversity directly influences the delivery of multiple ecosystem services, most notably
within agriculture. Projected future global demands for food, fiber and bioenergy will require …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) studies show great promise for non-invasive surveys of aquatic
organisms, but should account for imperfect detection and the influences of biotic and abiotic …

Monitoring is an essential component of wildlife management and conservation. However,
the usefulness of monitoring data is often undermined by the lack of 1) coordination across …

Management of wildlife populations often requires reliable estimates of population size or
distribution. Estimating abundance can be logistically difficult, and occupancy models have …

A critical element in effective wildlife management is monitoring the status of wildlife
populations; however, resources to monitor wildlife populations are typically limited. We …

Predictive models of species distribution are useful tools to identify habitats of imperilled
species for protection, inventory and restoration. Critical aspects of such models include the …
