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 …

Although wide‐ranging, elusive, large carnivore species, such as the tiger, are of scientific
and conservation interest, rigorous inferences about their population dynamics are scarce …

Recent extensions of occupancy modeling have focused not only on the distribution of
species over space, but also on additional state variables (eg, reproducing or not, with or …

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 …

Estimation of demographic parameters is central to research questions in wildlife
