Spatially Explicit Modeling of Community Occupancy using Markov Random Field Models with Imperfect Observation: Mesocarnivores in Apostle Islands National Lakeshore
Y. Shen, E. Olson, T. R. Van Deelen
The paper develops a spatially explicit community occupancy model using Markov random fields to analyze mesocarnivore distributions in Apostle Islands, finding that source-sink dynamics better explain species partitioning than competition.
