Occupancy Estimation and Modeling

Occupancy Estimation and Modeling: Inferring Patterns and Dynamics of Species Occurrence, Second Edition, is the first book to examine the latest methods in analyzing presence-absence data surveys. Through the use of four classes of models--single-species/single-season, single-species/multiple season, multiple-species/single-season, and multiple-species/multiple-season--the authors discuss the practical sampling situation, present a likelihood-based model that enables direct estimation of the occupancy-related parameters, take into account imperfect detectability, and make recommendations for designing studies using these models.
