Abstract:
|
The Florida black bear subspecies (Ursus americanus floridanus) is listed as a threatened species by the state of Florida. The black bear population is monitored within the state and any trend in population size is of great interest. Because black bears are shy and secretive, direct observation is not possible, and hair traps are used to determine the presence or absence of a bear at a sampling location. Building on the work of Schipper and Meelis (1997 JABES; 2003 JABES), sequential tests for a trend in the black bear population size are compared and conducted. The impact of spatial and serial correlation is discussed.
