| neighborhood and habitat effects on vital rates: expansion of the barred owl in the oregon coast ranges. | in this paper, we modify dynamic occupancy models developed for detection-nondetection data to allow for the dependence of local vital rates on neighborhood occupancy, where neighborhood is defined very flexibly. such dependence of occupancy dynamics on the status of a relevant neighborhood is pervasive, yet frequently ignored. our framework permits joint inference about the importance of neighborhood effects and habitat covariates in determining colonization and extinction rates. our specific m ... | 2012 | 22928423 |
