Trends and biases in African large carnivore population assessments: identifying priorities and opportunities from a systematic review of two decades of research

African large carnivores have undergone significant range and population declines over recent decades. Although conservation planning and the management of threatened species requires accurate…

How “science” can facilitate the politicization of charismatic megafauna counts

Ideally, the practice of science stays independent, informs policy in real time, and facilitates learning. However, when large uncertainties go unreported or are not effectively communicated, science…

The endemic biotas of oceanic islands were vulnerable and many have been lost. The more ancient, complex and dynamic biotas of continents were more resilient but are now being obliterated. Sumatra…

Human faecal collection methods demonstrate a bias in microbiome composition by cell wall structure

This study investigated the Stool Nucleic Acid Collection and Preservation Tube for the preservation of both microbial DNA and microbial organic acid metabolites in human faecal samples when compared to frozen samples and revealed significantly different bacterial genera.

How sampling‐based overdispersion reveals India's tiger monitoring orthodoxy

Agencies responsible for recovering populations of iconic mammals may exaggerate population trends without adequate scientific evidence. Recently, such populations were termed as “political…

Spatial models for distance sampling data: recent developments and future directions

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

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

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 Ž 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

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.
