Climate change may shrink and/or shift plant species ranges thereby increasing their
vulnerability and requiring targeted conservation to facilitate adaptation. We quantified the …

Abstract Aim Our aims are:(1) to highlight the power of dynamic occupancy models for
analysing species range dynamics while accounting for imperfect detection;(2) to emphasize …

Context Camera trapping is commonly employed for studying carnivores because it provides
better data than do other methods, and with lower costs. Increasing the probability of …

Context There have been many studies using species distribution models (SDMs) to predict
shifts in species distributions due to environmental changes, but few consider effects of data …

Finally I list seven challenges of particular importance for progress in DM:(1) that more
knowledge of patterns of natural variation is needed;(2) that a better mechanistic …

One approach to stabilise small and declining populations is to breed individuals in captivity
and release them into the wild to reinforce existing populations while working to reduce …

Aim Conservation practitioners use biological surveys to ascertain whether or not a site is
occupied by a particular species. Widely used statistical methods estimate the probability …

The application of the 'ecosystem approach'to marine conservation management demands
knowledge of the distribution patterns of the target species or communities. This information …

Occupancy models that account for detection probability are important analytical tools in
conservation monitoring. Traditionally, occupancy models relied on detection/non‐detection …

Many threatened species require ongoing management, which is often funded through short
project cycles. Evaluating whether the management is effective in protecting a species is …
