Spatial models for distance sampling data: recent developments and future directions
- Environmental Science
- 2013
This work considers spatial modelling techniques that may be advantageous to applied ecologists such as quantification of uncertainty in a two-stage model and smoothing in areas with complex boundaries and considers a popular approach based on generalized additive models.

Using Hidden Markov Models to Deal with Availability Bias on Line Transect Surveys
- MathematicsBiometrics
- 2013
Estimators for line transect surveys of animals that are stochastically unavailable for detection while within detection range are developed and shown to be more general and more flexible than existing estimators based on parametric models of the availability process.
N‐Mixture Models for Estimating Population Size from Spatially Replicated Counts
- MathematicsBiometrics
- 2004
A class of models (N-mixture models) which allow for estimation of population size from site-specific population sizes, N, as independent random variables distributed according to some mixing distribution (e.g., Poisson).
Generalized Linear Models

This is the rst book on generalized linear models written by authors not mostly associated with the biological sciences, and it is thoroughly enjoyable to read.
Adaptive Line Transect Sampling
- Environmental ScienceBiometrics
- 2002
This work develops an adaptive line transect methodology that, by varying the degree of adaptation, allows total effort to be fixed at the design stage and provides better survey coverage in the event of disruption in survey effort, e.g., due to poor weather.
