This 3-day advanced course explores extensions of the basic occupancy models covered in beginner/intermediate training, including multi-scale occupancy models, multi-state models, and species co-occurrence models. Participants will engage with theoretical concepts and complete practical exercises in R.
Attendees should have solid experience with occupancy modelling and be comfortable working in R—including data input/output, plotting, and using formula-based notation for models. Completion of a prior course in occupancy modelling is helpful but not required.
