A Unifying Model for Capture–Recapture and Distance Sampling Surveys of Wildlife Populations
统一野生动物种群捕获—再捕获与距离抽样调查的模型
A fundamental problem in wildlife ecology and management is estimation of population size or density. The two dominant methods in this area are capture-recapture (CR) and distance sampling (DS), each with its own largely separate literature. We develop a class of models that synthesizes them. It accommodates a spectrum of models ranging from nonspatial CR models (with no information on animal locations) through to DS and mark-recapture distance sampling (MRDS) models, in…
