Seth is working with co-authors to build a spatially-explicit population viability analysis for Mojave desert tortoises that incorporates spatially-realistic demographic connectivity in the predictive surface.  The resulting publication and maps will...

We recently used existing occupancy survey data to develop a simulation assessing the power of 30 sample design scenarios to detect nine rates of true population change in the presence of...

Seth recently submitted a manuscript evaluating a novel method of using existing supplemental mark-encounter data to improve estimation of survival of resident and translocated desert tortoises.  This paper will assist in...

Occupancy models are well developed for a variety of species and situations.  However, current models are limited in how they can incorporate multiple levels of temporal variation in detection probability, particularly...

Seth recently presented a talk at the annual meeting of the Oregon Chapter of The Wildlife Society titled, “Common pitfalls and missed opportunities in the application of information-theoretic methods in wildlife...
