Hierarchical spatial capture–recapture models: modelling population density in stratified populations
Summary Capture–recapture studies are often conducted on populations that are stratified by space, time or other factors. In this paper, we develop a Bayesian spatial capture–recapture ( SCR ) modelling framework for stratified populations – when sampling occurs within multiple distinct spatial and temporal strata. We describe a hierarchical model …
