Building useful models of species distributions requires attention to several important issues,
one being imperfect detection of species. Data sets of species detections are likely to suffer …

Climate change is a threat to marine turtles that is expected to affect all of their life stages. To
guide future research, we conducted a review of the most recent literature on this topic …

There is increasing availability and use of unstructured and semi‐structured citizen science
data in biodiversity research and conservation. This expansion of a rich source of 'big …

Much biodiversity data is collected worldwide, but it remains challenging to assemble the
scattered knowledge for assessing biodiversity status and trends. The concept of E ssential …

Estimating the abundance and spatial distribution of animal and plant populations is
essential for conservation and management. We introduce the R package Distance that …

Motivated by the need to estimate the abundance of marine mammal populations to inform
conservation assessments, especially relating to fishery bycatch, this paper provides …

Reliable estimates of animal density and abundance are essential for effective wildlife
conservation and management. Camera trapping has proven efficient for sampling multiple …

Abstract The North Sea is a key area worldwide for the installation of offshore wind farms
(OWFs). We analysed data from multiple sources to quantify the effects of OWFs on seabirds …

Biodiversity conservation faces a methodological conundrum: Biodiversity measurement
often relies on species, most of which are rare at various scales, especially prone to …

Binomial N‐mixture models have proven very useful in ecology, conservation, and
monitoring: they allow estimation and modeling of abundance separately from detection …
