Predicting the spatial pattern of disease risk in wild animal populations is important for
implementing effective control programmes. We developed a risk model predicting the …

Understanding how deer move in relationship to roads is critical, because deer are in
vehicle collisions, and collisions cause vehicle damage, as well as human injuries and …

There are two species of free-roaming feral equids in North America: horses (Equus
caballus) and donkeys or “burros”(E. asinus). Both species were introduced as domestic …

Remote sensing is a method that collects data of the Earth's surface without causing
disturbances. Thus, it is worthwhile to use remote sensing methods to survey endangered …

Whether a species is rare or overabundant, accurate estimates of population abundance are
essential for the development and assessment of conservation plans and management …

Imperfect detection leads to underestimates of species presence and decreases the
reliability of survey data. Imperfect detection has not been examined in detail for boreal …

Summary Steinhorst & Samuel (Biometrics 1989; 45, 415–425) showed how logistic
regression models, fit to detection data collected from radiocollared animals, can be used to …

Over the past 65 years, biologists have relied more on peer-reviewed publications than
other sources for management, yet there are still numerous gaps in our knowledge about …

Interspecific interactions and species-habitat interactions are primary drivers in shaping
distributions of wildlife populations across variable landscapes. The aspen parkland is a …

Developing effective monitoring methods for elusive, rare, or patchily distributed species
requires extra considerations, such as imperfect detection. Although detection is frequently …
