(2019-01-01) - Journal articleSpecies distribution models (SDMs) are now being widely used in ecology for management and conservation purposes across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine realms. The increasing interest in SDMs has drawn the attention ... -
Estimation of population size when capture probability depends on individual states
(2019-03) - Journal articleWe develop a multi-state model to estimate the size of a closed population from capture–recapture studies. We consider the case where capture–recapture data are not of a simple binary form, but where the state of an ... -
