Occupancy Estimation and Modeling: Inferring Patterns and Dynamics of Species Occurrence

Occupancy Estimation and Modeling: Inferring Patterns and Dynamics of Species Occurrence, Second Edition, is the first book to examine the latest methods in analyzing presence-absence data surveys. Through the use of 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 that enables direct estimation of the occupancy-related parameters, take into account imperfect detectability, and make recommendations for designing studies using these models. Provides authoritative insights into the latest in estimation modelingExamines the latest methods in analyzing presence/absence data surveys Discusses multiple models that lay the groundwork for future study designsAddresses critical issues of imperfect detectability and its effects on estimationExplores the role of probability in estimating in detail INDICE: 1.
