Springer - Estimating Presence and Abundance of Closed Populations

In an era of rapid biodiversity decline driven by climate change and human territory invasion, understanding population dynamics is more important than ever. This comprehensive book from Springer provides essential statistical methods for estimating the sizes and related parameters of closed populations. Designed for researchers and students in biology and health sciences, the text covers a wide range of subjects including plants, trees, various land and sea animals, and certain human populations. Because different species require different approaches, the book describes an extensive variety of methods tailored to diverse types of data. Readers will learn how to handle various data collections, such as count data from plot sampling, including methods that account for incomplete detection. This resource serves as a vital guide for those working to monitor species loss and manage the biological impacts of environmental changes through accurate statistical estimation.
