Changing patterns of colonisation and persistence during the wolf recolonisation of the human‐dominated Italian alpine region

Ecography, EarlyView.
Dynamic occupancy models are fundamental for understanding complex species recolonisation processes, as they allow the assessment of both colonisation and persistence probabilities over time. Using a dynamic occupancy model and a large‐scale multi‐year dataset on wolf presence collected in the Italian alpine region between 2014 and 2020, we analysed ...
