Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling species occurrence dynamics with multiple states and imperfect detection
TL;DR: This work shows the relationships between independently published approaches to the modeling of multistate occupancy and extends the pattern-based modeling to the case of sampling over multiple seasons or years in order to estimate state transition probabilities associated with system dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occupancy estimation and modeling with multiple states and state uncertainty
TL;DR: This work characterizes occupied locations in California Spotted Owls by characterizing occupied locations by some additional state variable (e.g., as producing young or not), and deals with both detection probabilities <1 and uncertainty in state classification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change, uncertainty, and natural resource management

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified four types of uncertainty that characterize problems in natural resource management and examined ways in which climate change is expected to exacerbate these uncertainties, as well as potential approaches to dealing with them.

Journal Article
Short-term effects of wildfires on spotted owl survival, site fidelity, mate fidelity, and reproductive success
Monica L. Bond,Monica L. Bond,Ralph J. Gutierrez,Alan B. Franklin,William S. LaHaye,Christopher A. May,Mark E. Seamans +6 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that wildfires may have little short-term impact on survival, site fidelity, mate fidelity, and reproductive success of spotted owls, and prescribed burning could be an effective tool in restoring habitat to natural conditions with minimal short- term impact on resident spotted Owls.
