Ixodid (hard) ticks play important ecosystem roles and have significant impacts on animal
and human health via tick-borne diseases and physiological stress from parasitism. Tick …

Wildlife population estimators often require formal adjustment for imperfect detection of
individuals during surveys. Conventional distance sampling (CDS) and its extensions (mark …

Abstract Changes in climate are driving widespread landscape changes in northern
ecosystems, altering the size and distribution of wildlife populations over multi‐decadal time …

Aerial surveys are a critical tool for inference of wildlife populations, yet are limited by current
available methods to account for imperfect detection without marking animals. N‐mixture …

Conservation has moved from species-centered to ecosystem-based approaches: the
Marine Strategy Framework Directive requires the maintenance or restoration of 'Good …

Winter recreation and tourism continue to expand worldwide, and where these activities
overlap with valuable wildlife habitat, there is greater potential for conservation concerns …

Minimum counts are commonly used to estimate population size and trend for wildlife
conservation and management; however, the scope of inference based on such data is …

Effective wildlife management and conservation depends on a detailed understanding of
population dynamics at large spatial scales. Distance sampling is an efficient tool for …

Human‐caused mortality in general, and unregulated hunting in particular, have been
implicated in reductions in brown bear (Ursus arctos) populations throughout much of their …

Managers rely on accurate estimators of wildlife abundance and trends for management
