Have you ever dreamt of being responsible for the conservation of a gibbon population in a wildlife sanctuary in Cambodia? No? Well here’s your chance anyway! In this workshop you will take on the role of lead investigator, responsible for carrying out an acoustic survey of the southern yellow-cheeked crested gibbon (Nomascus gabriallae) in Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary. You will have to design the survey, “collect” the data (by simulation), and fit models to estimate population density and distribution using acre.

This workshop will provide an introduction to spatial capture-recapture models and the R package acre, which provides functions to fit spatial capture-recapture models to data collected on acoustic surveys.

O workshop é de participação gratuita, mediante inscrição obrigatória.
