Wildlife population assessment: past developments and future directions.

摘要: We review the major developments in wildlife population assessment past century. Three areas are considered: mark-recapture, distance sampling, and harvest models. speculate on how these fields will develop next Topics for which we expect to see methodological advances include integration of modeling with Geographic Information Systems, automated survey design algorithms, model-based inference from sample data, a common inferential framework methods, improved methods estimating trends, embedding biological process models into inference, substantially conservation management, advanced spatiotemporal ecosystems, greater emphasis incorporating model selection uncertainty inference. discuss kind that might be anticipated topics.
