OCCUPANCY MODELING (ONLINE) - EARLY BIRD ENDS JUNE 20

Postby CWStudies » Thu Jun 18, 2020 2:54 pm

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Species presence/absence is a fundamental concept used in many areas of ecology (e.g., species distributions, habitat modeling, monitoring, and metapopulation studies), however imperfect detection can lead to false absences. Unaccounted for false absences can lead to misleading inferences about patterns and dynamics of species occurrence and the factors that influence them. We will learn methods for accounting for imperfect detection with species detection/non-detection data, and also discuss important study design considerations. Exercises are completed using Program PRESENCE and R.
