Estimating Animal Abundance Workshop: St Andrews 2005

This five-day workshop introduced participants to the most important methods of estimating animal abundance, including recently-developed methods and methods for open populations.

We explained the common key statistical concepts underlying the methods, and build on these to create an understanding of advanced and recently-developed methods. The workshop combined lectures with hands-on computer sessions to give participants experience in using the methods. The workshop has been developed with funding from UK research councils (EPSRC and NERC).
