Distinguishing distribution dynamics from temporary emigration using dynamic occupancy models
Abstract
Dynamic occupancy models are popular for estimating dynamic distribution rates (colonization and extinction) from repeated presence/absence surveys of unmarked animals. This approach assumes closure among repeated samples within primary periods, allowing estimation of dynamic rates between these periods. However, the impact of temporary emigration (TE; reversible changes in sampling availability) on dynamic rate estimates has not been tested.
