March 2011 – Wildlife density estimation with Spatially Explicit Capture-Recapture (SECR) with Murray Efford

For our second international workshop, we invited Dr Murray Efford of the University of Otago (NZ) to join us in KL.

Murray is the author of program DENSITY and the ‘secr’ package for R software. He introduced the theory of SECR as well as showing participants how to use his ‘products’. There was also a brief discussion of Bayesian analysis methods.

Participants were mainly from WCS and WWF Malaysia programmes, together with people from Malaysian government agencies and from Thailand and Vietnam.
