Software Code

Basic Model
  • Species-specific detection and occupancy assuming no differences among locations
  • Species richness in the "region"
  • No covariates
Dorazio and Royle 2005

Model Code (R, WinBUGS)
Data
Post Processing Code (species-specific occupancy & detection, species richness)

Sampling and Habitat Covariates
  • Species-specific detection and occupancy which can differ by spatial locations
  • Sampling and/or habitat covariates in detection and/or occupancy
  • Relationship between covariates and species-specific occupancy
  • Species and/or assemblage richness in the "region"

Colonization and Persistence
  • Occupancy depends on whether the species was present during the previous time step
  • Species-specific estimates of colonization and persistence (as well as detection)
  • Possible to include covariate effects on either colonization or persistence, given enough data
