Journal Article
Nobrega, J., González-Jaurégui, M., & Jehle, R. (2022). N-mixture models provide informative crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii) abundance estimates in dynamic environments. PeerJ, 10, e12906

Estimates of animal abundance provide essential information for population ecological studies. However, the recording of individuals in the field can be challenging, and accurate estimates require analytical techniques which account for imperfect...

The putatively positive association between host genetic diversity and the ability to defend against pathogens has long attracted the attention of evolutionary biologists. Chytridiomycosis, a disease caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dend...
