The importance of dispersal rates and distances has long been appreciated by ecologists
and evolutionary biologists. An emerging field of research is revealing how temporal …

N‐mixture models were born in 2004 of the necessity to model animal population size from
point counts with imperfect detection of individuals, where capture‐recapture methods are …

Climate change has been identified as one of the most important drivers of wildlife
population dynamics. The in‐depth knowledge of the complex relationships between climate …

Emerging infectious pathogens are responsible for some of the most severe host mass
mortality events in wild populations. Yet, effective pathogen control strategies are notoriously …

Obtaining inferences on disease dynamics (eg, host population size, pathogen prevalence,
transmission rate, host survival probability) typically requires marking and tracking …

Interspecific interactions and movement are key factors that drive the coexistence of
metapopulations in heterogenous landscapes. Yet, it is challenging to understand these …

It is important to understand metapopulation dynamics and underlying demographic
processes in heterogeneous landscapes. Traditionally, demographic parameters are …

In theory parameters of dynamic N-mixture models can be estimated with multiple years of
data without the robust design under the assumption of constant detection probability …

The estimation of abundance and distribution and factors governing patterns in these
parameters is central to the field of ecology. The continued development of hierarchical …

Context Spatial variation in life history traits plays a crucial role in shaping the current and
future dynamics of populations, particularly in systems where expanding hybrid zones could …
