Hierarchical models represent a paradigm shift in the application of statistics to ecological inference problems because they combine explicit models of ecological system structure or dynamics with models of how ecological systems are observed. The principles of hierarchical modeling are developed and applied to problems in population, metapopulation, community, and metacommunity systems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book provides the first synthetic treatment of many recent methodological advances in ecological modeling and unifies disparate methods and procedures.\u003cbr\u003eThe authors apply principles of hierarchical modeling to ecological problems, including \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* occurrence or occupancy models for estimating species distribution\u003cbr\u003e* abundance models based on many sampling protocols, including distance sampling\u003cbr\u003e* capture-recapture models with individual effects\u003cbr\u003e* spatial capture-recapture models based on camera trapping and related methods\u003cbr\u003e* population and metapopulation dynamic models\u003cbr\u003e* models of biodiversity, community structure and dynamics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
