Innovative techniques, such as environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding, are now
promoting broader biodiversity monitoring at unprecedented scales, because of the …

Estimating population density is critical for effective species conservation, wildlife
management planning, and long‐term monitoring. Obtaining accurate estimates is …

Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) is now routinely used for estimating abundance and
density of wildlife populations. A standard SCR model includes sub‐models for the …

The wolf (Canis lupus) is among the most controversial of wildlife species. Abundance
estimates are required to inform public debate and policy decisions, but obtaining them at …

Many models in population ecology, including spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models,
assume that individuals are distributed and detected independently of one another. In …

Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) is an increasingly popular method for estimating ecological
parameters. SCR often relies on data collected over relatively long sampling periods. While …

The continuous growth of the global human population results in increased use and change
of landscapes, with infrastructures like transportation or energy facilities being a particular …

Background Density estimation is a key issue in wildlife management but is particularly
challenging and labour-intensive for elusive species. Recently developed approaches …
