Statistical Methods Series: Multi-Species (Species Interactions) Occupancy Modeling

The Ecological Forecasting Initiative and the ESA Statistical Ecology Section are hosting Dr. Christopher Rota for the April call in the Statistical Methods Seminar Series. Dr. Rota is an Assistant Professor of Wildlife & Fisheries Resources at West Virginia University. Dr. Rota’s research addresses diverse questions in applied vertebrate ecology working with birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. He is interested in understanding factors that shape the spatial distribution of species, and the dynamic interplay between space use and demography. A common link throughout his research is the application and development of modern statistical techniques that capture many of the myriad processes giving rise to ecological data sets.
