  • This course is aimed at participants that have completed the introductory-level course, or have suitable practical experience implementing species occurrence models that account for imperfect detection. In this course, learn the underlying theory of multi-scale, multi-state, species co-occurrence, and community level models and then put your new knowledge into practice. All hands-on exercises will be conducted in R, covering data analysis and presentation of results (plotting results, creating maps, etc.).

    • Review of basic, static occupancy model: model development, covariates, creating species distribution maps

    • Study design

    • Correlated detection occupancy model

    • Multi-scale occupancy model

    • Spatial correlation in occupancy

    • Static multi-state occupancy model

    • False positive detection models

    • Review of dynamic occupancy model

    • Dynamic multi-state occupancy model

    • Species co-occurrence models

    • Community-level models

    • Joint occupancy-habitat dynamics model
