Environmental DNA studies have proliferated over the last decade, with promising data
describing the diversity of organisms inhabiting aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The …

N‐mixture models were born in 2004 of the necessity to model animal population size from
point counts with imperfect detection of individuals, where capture‐recapture methods are …

To analyze species count data when detection is imperfect, ecologists need models to
estimate relative abundance in the presence of unknown sources of heterogeneity. Two …

In the last decade, eDNA and metabarcoding have opened new avenues to biodiversity
studies; amphibians and reptiles are animals for which these new approaches have allowed …

Predator–prey dynamics are a fundamental part of ecology, but directly studying interactions
has proven difficult. The proliferation of camera trapping has enabled the collection of large …

Apex predators can limit the abundance and behaviour of mesopredators, thereby reducing
predation on smaller species. We know less about whether native apex predators are …

Wildlife monitoring in tropical rainforests poses additional challenges due to species often
being elusive, cryptic, faintly colored, and preferring concealable, or difficult to access …

Hierarchical N‐mixture models have been suggested for abundance estimation from
spatiotemporally replicated drone‐based count surveys, since they allow modeling …

Interspecific interactions are crucial in determining species occurrence and community
assembly. Understanding these interactions is thus essential for correctly predicting species' …

The correct interpretation of relative abundance indices provided by different sampling
methods is essential to correctly estimate population size. Although multiple indices and …
