I will start reviewing applications for a MS or PhD-level position in my lab on September 30. See details below!
I am recruiting a graduate student (MS or PhD) for Fall 2025 to join my new Statistical Ecology and Forest Science Lab at North Carolina State University! Please share widely!

🚨There is now a "spOccupancy and spAbundance users" mailing list! This will be the primary place to ask questions on using the two R packages going forward. If you use the packages I encourage you to join the group!

I am beyond excited to announce that I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources at North Carolina State University this fall! More info soon on opportunities for a grad student and postdoc to join the lab!
Had such a great time talking about hierarchical spatial occupancy and abundance models at @Vogelwarte_scie last week in Switzerland with an amazing group of researchers! All workshop lectures and exercises are freely available on GitHub: github.com/doserjef/Switzerl….

New paper out now in @ESAEcology! 😍
A multispecies hierarchical model to integrate count and distance-sampling data
Multiple species, multiple datasets, and ONE model to bind them! This was a challenging project & I learned a ton

Super fun application of spAbundance! Thanks for sharing @javi_ferlop!
spAbundance package (by @jeffdoser18 @ZipkinLab) is already published at @MethodsEcolEvol! It fits a wide variety of single/multispecies abundance models using MCMC and Bayesian Inference allowing also for hierarchical frameworks. Let me show you a funny example 🧵👇(1/6) #rstats
Thrilled to share our new paper in @MethodsEcolEvol that introduces the spAbundance R package for fitting a variety of single-species and multi-species spatially explicit abundance models!

Just over 3 weeks left to apply for our spatial occupancy/abundance modeling workshop in Switzerland. More details on course content and how to apply here: doserjef.github.io/Switzerla….
Registration is open for a 4-day workshop 24-27 June 2024 @ Swiss Ornithological Institute in Sempach, Switzerland taught by Marc Kéry and myself on hierarchical spatial modeling of species distributions using spOccupancy and spAbundance. Details here: doserjef.github.io/Switzerla…

I'm excited to share that I published a first version of my Statistics 4 Ecologists book with University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. You can now download a (FREE) pdf version of the book here:

Can we stop looking at histograms of animal diel activity and trusting our gut to classify species diel behavior (e.g., nocturnal)? Yes! Out today in @AnimalEcology we present a research methods guide for the Diel.Niche R package! #openaccess #rstats 1/7

Interested in single-visit occupancy models? Check out our new paper for some insights on how reliable model estimates are under a variety of simulation scenarios
Can fractional replication (borrowing strength across space and time) replace true replication (multiple visits) in species distribution models? What about model mis-specification? @jeffdoser18 and I investigate in our new @MethodsEcolEvol paper. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Very excited to announce my new R package spAbundance for fitting single-species and multi-species spatially-explicit N-mixture models, distance sampling models, and GLMMs. Includes options for random intercepts/slopes and species correlations. #rstats jeffdoser.com/files/spabunda….
5-day workshop by Marc Kéry, Dusit Ngoprasert, Ngumbang Juat on "Applied hierarchical modelling of species distribution and abundance with R package unmarked and spOccupancy" in Bangkok, Thailand. Registration: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

We estimated that birders spent roughly *half a million dollars* to look for the wayward Steller's Sea-Eagle over only a couple of months! 👀
Very fun paper that represents a collision of worlds between my research life and my birding life!!
Yesterday, our paper on the Steller's Sea Eagle's journey in North America and the economic impact it had was published in @PaN_BES. This was the most fun I have had on a project, and full credit to this goes to coauthors: @n_a_gilbert, @WR_Casola, and @KofiAkamani
Some exciting new functionality in spOccupancy is now available on CRAN including:
✅ Multi-species, multi-season occupancy models
✅Multi-species spatially-varying coefficient occupancy models
