DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2718
Abstract: Riparian corridors can be highly biodiverse but are often degraded by human activities, and are therefore frequent targets of restoration actions. Yet managers often lack clear guidance on how to conserve or restore riparian vegetation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04803-9
Abstract: Increasing urbanization and use of urban areas by synanthropic wildlife has increased human and domestic animal exposure to zoonotic diseases and exacerbated epizootics within wildlife populations. Consequently, there is a need to improve wildlife disease… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.12840
Abstract: 1. Dynamic occupancy models are popular for estimating dynamic distribution rates (colonization and extinction) from repeated presence/absence surveys of unmarked animals. This approach assumes closure among repeated samples within primary periods, allowing estimation of dynamic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.13378
Abstract: Understanding patterns of diversity is central to ecology and conservation, yet estimates of diversity are often biased by imperfect detection. In recent years, multi‐species occupancy models (MSOM) have been developed as a statistical tool to… read more here.

Can time‐to‐detection models with fewer survey replicates provide a robust alternative to traditional site‐occupancy models?

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.13379
Abstract: Traditional occupancy models that record detection/non‐detection (DND) of a species typically rely on either spatial or temporal survey replication to estimate model parameters. Recording the time until a species is first encountered after starting a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.13811
Abstract: 1. The occurrence and distributions of wildlife populations and communities are shifting as a result of global changes. To evaluate whether these shifts are negatively impacting biodiversity processes, it is critical to monitor the status,… read more here.

A comment on priors for Bayesian occupancy models
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0192819
Abstract: Understanding patterns of species occurrence and the processes underlying these patterns is fundamental to the study of ecology. One of the more commonly used approaches to investigate species occurrence patterns is occupancy modeling, which can… read more here.
