Synopsis

Spatial Capture-Recapture provides a comprehensive how-to manual with detailed examples of spatial capture-recapture models based on current technology and knowledge. Spatial Capture-Recapture provides you with an extensive step-by-step analysis of many data sets using different software implementations. The authors' approach is practical – it embraces Bayesian and classical inference strategies to give the reader different options to get the job done. In addition, Spatial Capture-Recapture provides data sets, sample code and computing scripts in an R package.

• Comprehensive reference on revolutionary new methods in ecology makes this the first and only book on the topic
• Every methodological element has a detailed worked example with a code template, allowing you to learn by example
• Includes an R package that contains all computer code and data sets on companion website

About this title

Review:

Spatial Capture-Recapture provides a revolutionary extension of traditional capture-recapture methods for studying animal populations using data from live trapping, camera trapping, DNA sampling, acoustic sampling, and related field methods.

From the Back Cover:

Spatial Capture-Recapture provides a revolutionary extension of traditional capture-recapture methods for studying animal populations using data from live trapping, camera trapping, DNA sampling, acoustic sampling, and related field methods. This book is a conceptual and methodological synthesis of spatial capture-recapture modeling. As a comprehensive how-to manual, this reference contains detailed examples of a wide range of relevant spatial capture-recapture models for inference about population size and spatial and temporal variation in demographic parameters. Practicing field biologists studying animal populations will find this book to be a useful resource, as will graduate students and professionals in ecology, conservation biology, and fisheries and wildlife management.

Key features:

· Offers comprehensive coverage of revolutionary new methods in ecology

· Includes detailed worked examples with R and BUGS code for each methodological element along with software instructions and a companion R package so you can implement analyses and learn by doing

· Presents a practical approach, embracing Bayesian and classical inference strategies in order to provide a variety of options to best get the job done
