Hierarchical spatial capture–recapture models:modelling population density …

1. Capture–recapture studies are often conducted on populations that are stratified by space, time or other factors. In this paper, we develop a Bayesian spatial capture–recapture (SCR) modelling framework for stratified populations – when sampling occurs within multiple distinct spatial and temporal strata. 2. We describe a hierarchical model that integrates distinct models for both t…
