Assessing small-mammal trapping design using spatially explicit capture recapture (SECR) modeling on long-term monitoring data. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Few studies have evaluated the optimal sampling design for tracking small mammal population trends, especially for rare or difficult to detect species. Spatially explicit capture-recapture (SECR) models present an advancement over non-spatial models by ...

A spatially explicit approach for estimating space use and density of common genets [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2014 Many species that occur at low densities are not accurately estimated using capture–recapture methods as such techniques assume that populations are well–defined in space.
