New paper: Accounting for heterogeneity when estimating stopover duration, timing and population size of red knots along the Luannan Coast of Bohai Bay, China

New paper by @TamarLok 🤩👏 using integrated modelling of 8 years of resighting and count data and accouting for heterogeneity to show the key importance of the Luannan Coast of Bohai Bay (China) as a spring #stopover area for red knots https://t.

New preprint: Estimating abundance with interruptions in data collection using open population spatial capture-recapture models

You have gaps in your data time-series? Open-pop SCR models may help you infer abundance, even during the gap years @PDupont17 @joechip90 @oaggimenez @R_nimble 🚀@bxv_ecol @biorxiv_ecology https://t.co/0YjWa1PmIL pic.twitter.com/Aa4cQPAcoP — Cyril Milleret (@Milleret_Cyril) 15 juin 2019

Local minima and multistate capture-recapture models

I thought I'd share some #rstats code about local minima in #multistate #capturerecapture models https://t.co/aJE33dBtdO using #Mark #Admb #Jags #Stan (#Nimble & #TMB to come). Largely inspired by Chapter 9 of the "Gentle introduction to Mark" by Cooch & White 😉 pic.
