ecological purposes, but also for agricultural and livestock production. The data related to …

A frequent challenge encountered with ecological data is how to interpret, analyze, or model
data having a high proportion of zeros. Much attention has been given to zero-inflated count …

Populations of free-ranging dogs are still a matter of concern in developing countries. The
presence of stray dogs is associated with environmental and public health consequences …

Estimating the size of an elusive target population is of prominent interest in many areas in
the life and social sciences. Our aim is to provide an efficient and workable method to …

Wild boar (Sus scrofa) has high fecundity and strong adaptability to various environments. In

A continuous time frailty capture–recapture model is proposed for estimating population size
of a closed population with the use of observed covariates to explain individuals' …

One of the most used techniques for determining animal abundance is distance sampling.
The distance sampling framework depends on the idea of a detection function, and a …

In survival analysis, researchers often encounter multivariate survival time data, in which
failure times are correlated even in the presence of model covariates. It is argued that …

Recolonising native mammals have the potential to cause environmental and agricultural
damage. However, if their future distribution can be predicted, effective control measures …

Capture–Recapture methods aim to estimate the size of an elusive target population. Each
member of the target population carries a count of identifications by some identifying …
