What: In this virtual workshop, we will show how to infer occupancy while accounting for imperfect detection. Using real case studies on wolves (Canis lupus), we will show how to estimate the proportion of area occupied by the species. We will also show how to asses the dynamic of occupancy by estimating colonization and extinction processes. If time allows, we will also cover recent models that allow accounting for false positives due to species misidentification as well as species interactions. The workshop will be a combination of lecture and live coding demonstrations in R using package unmarked.
For whom: This is a workshop for ecologists. Basic knowledge of R is required. See R for beginners by Emmanuel Paradis for an introduction.
How: The format of the workshop will be a combination of lectures and live demonstrations in R with packages unmarked.
