Back here for a bit to promote our new paper 🥳.
I'm obligated to use this terrible website to boost the altmetrics for our 🎉NEW PAPER IN PNAS🎉. We estimated the number of species that have gone extinct in Singapore, including those that went extinct before we had a chance to discover them.

This is really sad 😢 Mike was an inspiration to many in my part of the world.
I am saddened by the news of Mike’s passing 😔 - the greatest wildlife statistician and educator in SE Asia, Guru Mike Meredith (aka Pseudo Ronald Fisher). 🫡

Rachel Fewster introduced a new and emerging technique, cluster capture-recapture (CCR), which can estimate animal density from UAV data where individual IDs are *latent*. One of the papers:

@bc_stevenson's SCR model accounts for spatial correlation in detections between detectors and it *does not* require collection of env covariates (that may be hard to acc fully). It uses uses random rather than fixed effects to explain the heterogeneity 🤩

Finally catching up on some #isec2022 talks, and rewatching others. Can't believe how much I've missed. Will link some cool work below as I encounter them.
