Assessing small-mammal trapping design using spatially explicit capture recapture (SECR) modeling on long-term monitoring data.

Few studies have evaluated the optimal sampling design for tracking small mammal population trends, especially for rare or difficult to detect species. Spatially explicit capture-recapture (SECR) models present an advancement over non-spatial models by accounting for individual movement when estimat...
