متن کاملDealing with detection error in site occupancy surveys: what can we do with a single survey?
Aim Site occupancy probabilities of target species are commonly used in various ecological studies, e.g. to monitor current status and trends in biodiversity. Detection error introduces bias in the estimators of site occupancy. Existing methods for estimating occupancy probability in the presence of detection error use replicate surveys. These methods assume population closure, i.e. the site oc...
متن کاملApplying occupancy estimation and modelling to the analysis of atlas data
Aim Biological atlases are a globally widespread and effective means for documenting the distribution of numerous taxa and have been used to study many macroecological relationships. A common assumption when analysing atlas data is that species are detected perfectly (p = 1). This assumption is likely incorrect, but the application of methods to account for heterogeneous detectability (p < 1) h...
متن کاملExploiting opportunistic observations to estimate changes in seasonal site use: An example with wetland birds
Nonsystematically collected, a.k.a. opportunistic, species observations are accumulating at a high rate in biodiversity databases. Occupancy models have arisen as the main tool to reduce effects of limited knowledge about effort in analyses of opportunistic data. These models are generally using long closure periods (e.g., breeding season) for the estimation of probability of detection and occu...
متن کاملNovel Methods for Activity Classification and Occupany Prediction Enabling Fine-grained HVAC Control
Much of the energy consumption in buildings is due to HVAC systems, which has motivated several recent studies on making these systems more energyefficient. Occupancy and activity are two important aspects, which need to be correctly estimated for optimal HVAC control. However, state-of-the-art methods to estimate occupancy and classify activity require infrastructure and/or wearable sensors wh...
