Website for the Bayesian Workflow book by Gelman, Vehtari, McElreath, et al. — case studies, code, and exercises in R and Stan.

The purpose of the student travel grants is to promote and support student interest in biometrics and the Biometrics Working Group by attending The Wildlife Society annual conference. The number of gr...

The purpose of these awards is to provide support for students entering U.S.-based Ph.D. programs with a plan to perform research in ecology and evolution. While we will consider all projects in ecolo...

Hierarchical occupancy and abundance models (HOAMs) have become a leading approach for inferring wildlife population dynamics because they explicitly account for imperfect detection. HOAMs are sui...

Competition between carnivores and scavengers can alter predation rates and foraging behavior, shaping the effects of predation on complex community dynamics. The perceived risks of conflict and reso...

An overview of the fellowship, application process, and selection process, followed by common questions and answers, and an open Q&A session hosted by Smith…

Multispecies occupancy models are widely applied to infer interactions in the occurrence of different species, but convergence and estimation issues under realistic sample sizes are common. We conduc...

Researchers engaged in long-term projects often need to update their data sets over time. Here’s how to do it while maintaining reproducibility.

We developed predictive models of pup-rearing habitat (i.e., den and rendezvous sites) that could help guide future population monitoring efforts of Mexican wolves. Mexican wolves selected den sites ...

The human shield hypothesis posits that predators avoid areas of human disturbance due to perceived risk from humans, and prey therefore seeks refuge in these areas of perceived safety. Our systemati....
