Detection in studies of species abundance and distribution is often imperfect. Assuming
perfect detection introduces bias into estimation that can weaken inference upon which …

We systematically reviewed the raptor electrocution literature to evaluate study designs and
methods used in raptor electrocution research, mitigation, and monitoring, emphasizing …

This is the fourth book dedicated to distance sampling. The first (Buckland et al. 1993)
appeared at around the same time as the first version of the Distance software (Laake et al …

With the advance of methods for estimating species distribution models has come an interest
in how to best combine datasets to improve estimates of species distributions. This has …

Citizen science is mainstream: millions of people contribute data to a growing array of citizen
science projects annually, forming massive datasets that will drive research for years to …

Occupancy Estimation and Modeling: Inferring Patterns and Dynamics of Species
Occurrence, Second Edition, provides a synthesis of model-based approaches for analyzing …

A guide to data collection, modeling and inference strategies for biological survey data using
Bayesian and classical statistical methods. This book describes a general and flexible …

We describe an approach for estimating occupancy rate or the proportion of area occupied
when heterogeneity in detection probability exists as a result of variation in abundance of …

This advanced text focuses on the uses of distance sampling to estimate the density and
abundance of biological populations. It addresses new methodologies, new technologies …

Abstract The North American Breeding Bird Survey is a roadside, count-based survey
conducted by volunteer observers. Begun in 1966, it now is a primary source of information …
