Abstract
Occupancy, the probability that a species occurs in a survey unit, has become a popular and useful tool for ecologists to monitor species populations over time and space. However, spatial autocorrelation of survey units may lead to biases and overestimated precision. This paper presents a unifying hierarchical spatial occupancy model specification that is particularly effective over large spatial extents, using a case study involving occupancy of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in northern Ontario, Canada.
