For bumble bees, colonies (not individual workers) are the functional unit of the population. Estimates of colony density are thus critical for understanding population distribution and trends of this important pollinator group. Yet, surveys of bumble bee colonies and other taxa with sessile life cycle states rarely account for imperfect detection....

... models estimated approximately 10, 5, and 3 nests in each of the three plots, respectively 2 7 0 (Fig. 2). The corresponding median estimate of nest density in each plot was therefore 33.3, 16.7, of the nests in plots 1 and 2, and 0-100% of the nests in plot ...

Effective conservation and management of small mammals require knowledge of the population dynamics of co‐occurring species. We estimated the abundances, autocorrelations, and spatiotemporal associations of 4 small‐mammal species from 2011–2016 using live‐trapping mark‐recapture methods on 9 sites across elevation and canopy openness gradients of a...
