Overview
- This book addresses habitat occupancy and population abundance, central parameters for mammal conservation and management
- Hierarchical models are widely used to obtain robust estimates and inferences on the occupancy and abundance of mammals at various scales.
- The chapters cover a broad region from the Mexican deserts to the Peruvian andes and the Amazon rainforest

About the editors
Eduardo J. Naranjo received a Ph.D. in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at the University of Florida, Gainesville in 2002, and a Master’s in Wildlife Management at Costa Rica’s Universidad Nacional in 1994. He has been a Senior Researcher in the Department of Biodiversity Conservation at El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (Chiapas, Mexico) since 1995. He was faculty in Biology at the Universidad de Ciencias y Artes de Chiapas, Mexico for 34 years, and has been a visiting professor in universities of Canada, Costa Rica, Peru, USA, and UK. He was president of the Mexican Association of Mammalogists (AMMAC, 2004-2006), and is a member of the IUCN Tapir and Peccary Specialist Groups, and Mexico’s Researchers National System (SNI). His research interests include wildlife population ecology, management, sustainable use, and conservation in Neotropical forests.
Gabriel P. Andrade-Ponce is a Colombian biologist who obtained his Bachelor's degree in Biology from the National University of Colombia. He further pursued a Master of Science degree at the Institute of Ecology A.C. in Xalapa, Mexico, and is currently a PhD student at the same institution. He was honored with the Mexican Association of Mammalogy (AMMAC) award for the best master's thesis in the 2020 edition. His research primarily focuses on the application of statistical models to address ecological questions, particularly using mammals and camera trap data. He has a keen interest in ecological interactions, population ecology, the diversity of carnivorous mammals, and the utilization and interpretation of hierarchical models. His current work aims to evaluate the factors influencing carnivorous mammals' spatial and temporal co-occurrence and their associations with ecological interactions.
