MesoCarnivores

Occupancy data and site covariates for coyote, red fox, and bobcat from 1437 camera trap sites sampled 3 times. Each sampling period represents one week. This data is a simplified form of the dataset used by Rota et al. (2016).

datasets

Fits hierarchical models of animal abundance and occurrence to data collected using survey methods such as point counts, site occupancy sampling, distance sampling, removal sampling, and double observer sampling. Parameters governing the state and observation processes can be modeled as functions of covariates. References: Kellner et al.
