Occupancy models to study wildlife
Larissa Bailey, Michael John Adams
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3096
Many wildlife studies seek to understand changes or differences in the proportion of sites occupied by a species of interest. These studies are hampered by imperfect detection of these species, which can result in some sites appearing to be unoccupied that are actually occupied. Occupancy models solve this problem and...
Topography and Landforms of Ecuador
Peter G. Chirico, Michael B. Warner
2005, Data Series 136
EXPLANATION The digital elevation model of Ecuador represented in this data set was produced from over 40 individual tiles of elevation data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). Each tile was downloaded, converted from its native Height file format (.hgt), and imported into a geographic information system (GIS) for additional...
