occupancy models

Not strictly of MARK-specific interest, but since MARK does handle some types of occupancy models, the following might be of interest.

I just received my copy of a recent publication by Darryl Mackenzie, Jim Nichols and some other culprits in the PWRC Mafia (Ken Pollock - charter member) - on estimation and modeling of patch occupancy. The book is published by Academic Press, but they seem to be back-ordered at the moment. I had success getting a copy from Amazon:

The full citation for the book is:

Occupancy Estimation and Modeling : Inferring Patterns and Dynamics of Species Occurrence (Hardcover)

by Darryl I. MacKenzie, James D. Nichols, J. Andrew Royle, Kenneth H. Pollock, Larissa L. Bailey, James E. Hines


Its a really slick piece of work...when I finally get around to putting together a chapter on how MARK handles occupancy models, this will be the de facto reference point.
