Trap configuration and spacing influences parameter estimates in spatial capture-recapture models.

An increasing number of studies employ spatial capture-recapture models to estimate population size, but there has been limited research on how different spatial sampling designs and trap configurations influence parameter estimators. Spatial capture-recapture models provide an advantage over non-sp...
