Subject: Occupancy Modeling (Online)
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Species presence/absence is a fundamental concept used in many areas of ecology (e.g., species distributions, habitat modeling, monitoring, and metapopulation studies), however imperfect detection can lead to false absences. Unaccounted for false absences can lead to misleading inferences about patterns and dynamics of species occurrence and the factors that influence them. We will learn methods for accounting for imperfect detection with species detection/non-detection data, and also discuss important study design considerations. Exercises are completed using Program PRESENCE and R.
DATES: August 16-30, 2021
FORMAT: The course is divided into discrete competency-based modules composed of pre-recorded lecture material and hands-on exercises. Students will interact with each other and the instructor by email, online discussion threads, and live Q&A (15:00-18:00 EDT on Aug 17, 19, 24, 26, 30). Each student will also have the opportunity during the final group discussion to ask questions that pertain to their individual projects. Participants may also schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. MacKenzie several weeks after the course is over at $200/hr.
PREREQUISITES: This course is for those with no, or little, experience with occupancy modeling, but more experienced users may also benefit from attending. Familiarity with regression, logistic regression, or generalized linear modeling would be advantageous. Suggested readings for the course:

The original (over 35 years of experience) Evacuation Chair manufactured by Evac+Chair® of North America, was inducted (placed) in the World Trade Center Museum, on display for saving the lives of several individuals that were confined to a wheelchair during 9/11. Evac+Chair® of North America is now part of American history for saving lives during the World Trade Center Attack in New York City. The Stair Chairs of Evac+Chair® are of unique construction which makes it easy for anyone with any type of impaired mobility (permanent and/or temporary) to be navigated up and/or down a staircase in time of need. Evac+Chair® of North America is the company that originated the stairway evacuation chair over 30 years ago. More than six occupants were rescued to safety during the World Trade Center Towers attack on September 11, using the evacuation chairs of Evac+Chair® of North America. Evacuation Chair
