Abstract
Frameworks for modeling the underlying dynamics of species occurrence using a two-state, or multi-state, occupancy variable, were introduced in Chapters 8 and 9. In this chapter, extensions, potential uses, and practical insights for these models are outlined. Topics covered include false positive detections, autocorrelated within-season detections, spatial correlation in occupancy dynamics, investigating occupancy dynamics, sensitivity of occupancy to changes in dynamics and heterogeneous detection probabilities. These topics will enable practitioners to gain a better understanding of why species occurrence has changed, which should lead to improved knowledge of how the species functions within a landscape, and may result in more targeted management actions in a management or conservation context.
