Camera traps have quickly transformed the way in which many ecologists study the
distribution of wildlife species, their activity patterns and interactions among members of the …

Building useful models of species distributions requires attention to several important issues,
one being imperfect detection of species. Data sets of species detections are likely to suffer …

Camera trapping is a widely applied method to study mammalian biodiversity and is still
gaining popularity. It can quickly generate large amounts of data which need to be managed …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely applied to understand the processes
governing spatial and temporal variation in species abundance and distribution but often do …

Occupancy modelling is a common approach to assess species distribution patterns, while
explicitly accounting for false absences in detection–nondetection data. Numerous …

Ecological research uses data collection techniques that are prone to substantial and
unique types of measurement error to address scientific questions about species abundance …

Automatically triggered cameras taking photographs or videos of passing animals (camera
traps) have emerged over the last decade as one of the most powerful tool for wildlife …

Ecological systems can often be characterised by changes among a finite set of underlying
states pertaining to individuals, populations, communities or entire ecosystems through time …

Obtaining unbiased estimates of wildlife distribution and abundance is an important
objective in research and management. Occupancy and N‐mixture abundance models …

Ecologists routinely fit complex models with multiple parameters of interest, where hundreds
or more competing models are plausible. To limit the number of fitted models, ecologists …
