Occupancy Modeling Workshop It is often of interest to ask questions about the probability of occurrence for a species of wildlife. Occupancy models can be used to estimate the probability that a site is occupied and other parameters related to changes in occupancy despite false negatives. This workshop will be a primer on the use of occupancy models. We will spend most of our time introducing the basic occupancy model and the basics of free software called PRESENCE. The target audience is beginners who have little or no experience with occupancy analyses.
