Spatial Capture-Recapture provides a comprehensive how-to manual with detailed examples of spatial capture-recapture models based on current technology and knowledge. Spatial Capture-Recapture provides you with an extensive step-by-step analysis of many data sets using different software implementations. The authors' approach is practical – it embraces Bayesian and classical inference strategies to give the reader different options to get the job done. In addition, Spatial Capture-Recapture provides data sets, sample code and computing scripts in an R package.

• Comprehensive reference on revolutionary new methods in ecology makes this the first and only book on the topic
• Every methodological element has a detailed worked example with a code template, allowing you to learn by example
• Includes an R package that contains all computer code and data sets on companion website

"...a book for the DIY quantitative ecologist who wants to understand their data...I enjoyed it tremendously and it already had a strong influence on how I think about some of my current research projects."--Basic and Applied Ecology, Spatial Capture-Recapture

"...a timely and informative contribution that summarizes the history and motivation behind SCR models,...will be a vital addition to wildlife ecologist’s book shelves for many years to come."--The Journal of Wildlife Management, Sep 14
