American marten, fisher, lynx, and wolverine : survey methods for their detection / [technical editors], William J. Zielinski, Thomas E. Kucera.

TL;DR: Occupancy estimation and modelling based on detection‐nondetection data provide an effective way of exploring change in a species’ distribution across time and space in cases where the species is not always detected with certainty.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the use of drainage culverts by small-and medium-sized mammals along roads in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada during the winters of 1999 and 2000, and obtained expected passage frequencies by sampling relative species abundance along transects at the ends of each culvert.

TL;DR: "Noninvasive Survey Methods for Carnivores" allows practitioners to carefully evaluate a diversity of detection methods and to develop protocols specific to their survey objectives, study area, and species of interest.

TL;DR: It is believed that site occupancy is a useful state variable and suggest that monitoring programs for mammals using occupancy data consider detectability prior to making inferences about species distributions or population change.

TL;DR: In a recent survey of fisheries and aquatic sciences that did not reject some null hypothesis (H0) failed to report β, the probability of making a type II error.
