David Warton (University of New South Wales) interviews  interviews  Ben Stevenson (University of St Andrews) about his 2015 Methods in Ecology and Evolution paper ‘A general framework for animal density estimation from acoustic detections across a fixed microphone array’. They also discuss what Ben is currently up to, including an interesting new method for dealing with uncertain identification in capture-recapture, published in Statistical Science as ‘Trace-Contrast Models for Capture–Recapture Without Capture Histories’.

The article that is discussed in this interview – A general framework for animal density estimation from acoustic detections across a fixed microphone array – was published in the January 2015 issue of Methods in Ecology and Evolution. You can find Ben’s Statistical Science article here.
