Little is known about interactions between the critically endangered Sumatran tiger Panthera
tigris sumatrae and its prey because of the difficulties associated with detecting these …

Camera traps - cameras linked to detectors so that they fire when an animal is present - are
a major source of information on the abundance and habitat preferences of rare or shy forest …

Alloys of iron with cobalt, nickel, vanadium, chromium, manganese, aluminium and silicon
have been studied using the Mössbauer effect. In ferromagnetic alloys the variation of …

Occupancy is an important concept in ecology. To obtain an unbiased estimator of occupancy
it is necessary to address the issue of imperfect detection, which requires conducting …

Mössbauer spectra of the mineral sulphides mackinawite (Fe 1+x S), greigite (Fe 3 S 4 ) and
pentlandite (Ni, Fe) 9 S 8 have been studied at different temperatures and in external …

We present a novel distribution for modelling count data that are underdispersed relative to
the Poisson distribution. The distribution is a form of weighted Poisson distribution and is …

The N‐mixture model is widely used to estimate the abundance of a population in the presence
of unknown detection probability from only a set of counts subject to spatial and temporal …

The effects of several factors on the estimation of Verticillium dahliae in soil by the wet‐sieving
method were studied. The following factors were important for maximising recovery: the …
