    • Improved methods for estimating spatial and temporal trends from point transect survey data 

      Camp, Richard Joseph (University of St Andrews, 2021-06-29) - Thesis
      This thesis is about methods for improving estimates of abundance and trends from distance sampling surveys. My particular focus is on point transect surveys of endemic Hawaiian songbirds. When critical assumptions are ...

    • Nonlinear mixed effect models for modeling initial viral decay rates in an HIV study 

      Kang, Sujin (2008-11-27) - Thesis
      The Nonlinear Mixed Effect Viral Dynamic Model can easily handle unbalanced repeated and continuous measures data for individuals and is also popular in many other research areas such as biology and pharmacokinetics. Wu ...

    • Movement ecology and conservation : the case of African vultures 

      Estevinho Santos Faustino, Cláudia (University of St Andrews, 2020-07-28) - Thesis
      The movements of critically endangered vultures, equipped with satellite-based tracking devices in Namibia, were inspected using Generalized Additive Models. Models incorporated spatially adaptive (1D and 2D) smooths via ...

    • Estimating abundance of African great apes 

      Howe, Eric J. (University of St Andrews, 2019-12-03) - Thesis
      All species and subspecies of African great apes are listed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature as endangered or critically endangered, and populations continue to decline. As human populations and ...

    • Methods in spatially explicit capture-recapture 

      Stevenson, Ben C. (University of St Andrews, 2016-06-24) - Thesis
      Capture-recapture (CR) methods are a ubiquitous means of estimating animal abundance from wildlife surveys. They rely on the detection and subsequent redetection of individuals over a number of sampling occasions. It is ...
