A guide to data collection, modeling and inference strategies for biological survey data using Bayesian and classical statistical methods. This book describes a general and flexible …
This text is written to provide a mathematically sound but accessible and engaging introduction to Bayesian inference specifically for environmental scientists, ecologists and …
Novel Statistical Tools for Conserving and Managing PopulationsBy gathering information on key demographic parameters, scientists can often predict how populations will develop in …
We develop a hierarchical capture–recapture model for demographically open populations when auxiliary spatial information about location of capture is obtained. Such spatial capture …
An important first step in studying the demography of wild animals is to identify the animals uniquely through applying markings, such as rings, tags, and bands. Once the animals are …

Data augmentation (DA) is a flexible tool for analyzing closed and open population models of capture–recapture data, especially models which include sources of hetereogeneity …
Variation between and within individuals in life history traits is ubiquitous in natural populations. When affecting fitness‐related traits such as survival or reproduction, individual …
