| Title: | Occupancy Estimation and Modeling : Inferring Patterns and Dynamics of Species Occurrence |
|---|---|
| Description: | Occupancy Estimation and Modeling is the first book to examine the latest methods in analyzing presence/absence data surveys. Using four classes of models (single-species, single-season; single-species, multiple season; multiple-species, single-season; and multiple-species, multiple-season), the authors discuss the practical sampling situation, present a likelihood-based model enabling direct estimation of the occupancy-related parameters while allowing for imperfect detectability, and make recommendations for designing studies using these models. - Provides authoritative insights into the latest in estimation modeling - Discusses multiple models which lay the groundwork for future study designs - Addresses critical issues of imperfect detectibility and its effects on estimation - Explores the role of probability in estimating in detail |
