Effect of spatial overdispersion on confidence intervals for population density estimated by spatial capture–recapture

open access: yesPeer Community Journal
Spatially explicit capture–recapture models are used widely to estimate the density of animal populations. The population is represented by an inhomogeneous Poisson point process, where each point is the activity centre of an individual and density ...

A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

Spatial capture‐recapture can improve environmental impact assessments for large carnivores

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence
Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) for large carnivores frequently rely on summary statistics or relative abundance indices to evaluate the effects of infrastructure development on predator populations.

Integrating telemetry data into spatial capture–recapture modifies inferences on multi‐scale resource selection

open access: yesEcosphere, 2018
Estimating population size and resource selection functions (RSFs) are common approaches in applied ecology for addressing wildlife conservation and management objectives.

A framework for the ethical use of animal‐borne devices in post‐release monitoring following rehabilitation

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Rehabilitation and release contribute to conservation efforts for threatened species. Ensuring that these efforts are effective requires a good understanding of the factors which determine survival and integration of released animals into wild populations.

Estimating density for species conservation: Comparing camera trap spatial count models to genetic spatial capture-recapture models

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2018
Density estimation is integral to the effective conservation and management of wildlife. Camera traps in conjunction with spatial capture-recapture (SCR) models have been used to accurately and precisely estimate densities of “marked” wildlife ...

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is
