ICYMI: The #GranChaco in S. America is experiencing one of the highest deforestation rates globally. Julieta showed how fitting #occupancymodels to medium-sized mammal data revealed the importance of large stands of forest, especially those away from #deforestationfrontiers.

Preferential sampling - surveying good habitat frequently - biases species population estimates: a case study of Spanish storks shows how to address this problem #Biodiversity #WildlifeMonitoring #OccupancyModels #OpenAccess @g_fandos @ZurellLab

#eDNAmetabarcoding people, I invite you to read our work. We compared results from underwater visual censuses and simultaneous eDNA metabarcoding fish surveys in terms of observed species and community composition in the Gulf of California! 1/6

Both survey methods recovered a known #biodiversity gradient and a #biogeographic break, but eDNA captured diversity over a broader geographic and bathymetric scale. Furthermore, the use of a modest-sized custom reference database significantly increased taxonomic assignment. 4/6

In a subset of species, #occupancymodels revealed eDNA surveys provided similar or higher detection probabilities than UVC. The occupancy value of each species had a large influence on eDNA detectability and in the false positive and negative error. 5/6

Time to first event occupancy models can be an efficient method for monitoring changes in #landbird distribution in Canadian Rockies protected lands. #occupancymodels #openaccess @Y2Y_Initiative

Super excited to join the South Africa Biodiversity Data Pipeline for Wetlands and Waterbirds (BIRDIE) project, after yet another bumpy year. #StateSpaceModels, #OccupancyModels, #CitizentScience, #rstats, #DataPipeline. The project ticks lots of boxes!

#Graphical tools to diagnose #OccupancyModels by @ecostats, @Jakub_Stats, @GGuillera, Darryl Mackenzie, Alan Welsh:

In our new paper published at @Mammalogists we illustrate how to use #occupancymodels to get context-dependent quantitative estimates of #trophicinteractions strength #functionalresponses useful to build #ecologicalnetworks #foodwebs
