Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of temporal variability of survival in animal populations
TL;DR: It is demonstrated the ease with which sampling variation can be removed from the observed total variation of parameter estimates, and substantial differences in observed significance levels were observed when testing for demographic differences in temporal variation using temporal variance estimates adjusted and unadjusted for sampling variance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concerns regarding a call for pluralism of information theory and hypothesis testing
Paul M. Lukacs,William L. Thompson,William L. Kendall,William R. Gould,Paul F. Doherty,Kenneth P. Burnham,David E. Anderson +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that I-T methods are more informative even in single variable problems and it is argued for a stronger emphasis on critical thinking in science in general and less reliance on exploratory data analysis and data dredging.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Evaluation of Trout Passage through Six Highway Culverts in Montana
TL;DR: The spawning rainbow trout relation could be used as the general criterion for passage of the trout studied because of the similarity of the strenuous passage relations among species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catch-effort maximum likelihood estimation of important population parameters
TL;DR: This work presents the model development necessary for maximum likelihood estimation of parameters from catch-effort data using the program SURVIV, the primary intent being to present biologists with a vehicle for producing maximum likelihood estimates in lieu of using the traditional regression techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating Occupancy in Large Landscapes: Evaluation of Amphibian Monitoring in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
William R. Gould,Debra A. Patla,Rob Daley,Paul Stephen Corn,Blake R. Hossack,Blake R. Hossack,Robert E. Bennetts,Charles R. Peterson +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted annual surveys for amphibian breeding occupancy in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks over a 4-year period (2006-2009) at two scales: catchments (portions of watersheds) and individual wetland sites.
