In a rapidly changing world, understanding and predicting population change is a central
aim of applied ecologists, and this involves studying the links between environmental …

Densities of elusive terrestrial mammals are commonly estimated from camera‐trap data.
Typically, this is a 2‐step process involving 1) fitting conventional closed population capture …

Abundance and population density are fundamental pieces of information for population
ecology and species conservation, but they are difficult to estimate for rare and elusive …

Urbanization is a primary driver of landscape conversion, with far‐reaching effects on
landscape pattern and process, particularly related to the population characteristics of …

Mark rate, or the proportion of the population with unique, identifiable marks, must be
determined in order to estimate population size from photographic identification data. In this …

Capture–mark–recapture models are useful tools for estimating demographic parameters
but often result in low precision when recapture rates are low. Low recapture rates are …

To assess recovery of endangered species, reliable information on the size and density of
the target population is required. In practice, however, this information has proved hard to …

Over the past 50 years, the population of Continental Black-tailed Godwits Limosa limosa
limosa breeding of the East Atlantic Flyway has been in steep decline. This decline has …

We studied moose (Alces alces) survival, physical condition, and abundance in a 3‐predator
system in western Interior Alaska, USA, during 2001–2007. Our objective was to quantify the …

Abundance estimation of carnivore populations is difficult and has prompted the use of non-
invasive detection methods, such as remotely-triggered cameras, to collect data. To analyze …
