Covariates influence optimal camera‐trap survey design for occupancy modelling
Introduction Monitoring the distribution of species and tracking changes over time is a fundamental component of biodiversity conservation and ecological research (Burton et al., 2015; Kays et al., 2015). It provides essential information for assessing the local extinction risk of vulnerable species, understanding human-wildlife conflicts and forecasting the effects of global climate change on wildlife populations (Dirzo et al., 2014; Johnson et al., 2017).
Predicting the spatial expansion of an animal population with presence‐only data
Environmental data Environmental data were obtained for variables relating to land cover (UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology's Land Cover Map 2015; www.ceh.ac.uk/services/land-cover-map-2015, 25 m resolution), roads (Ordnance Survey (OS) Meridian™ 2; www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk, 10 m resolution), terrain (OS Terrain 50, 50 m resolution) and climate (Worldclim version 1; http://www.worldclim.org/, 1 km resolution).
Horizontal viewsheds of large herbivores as a function of woodland structure
1 INTRODUCTION Remote sensing methods have extensive applications in wildlife ecology research (Kays et al., 2015; Neumann et al., 2015). For example, trail cameras have revolutionized our understanding of animal habitat use and activity patterns at the population level (Green et al., 2020), while GPS tracking has given insight into the processes underpinning complex movement decisions of individual animals (Hebblewhite & Haydon, 2010).
