A Bayesian nested patch occupancy model to estimate steelhead movement and abundance

Anthropogenic impacts on riverine systems have, in part, led to management concerns regarding the population status of species using these systems. In an effort to assess the efficacy of restoration actions, and in order to improve monitoring of species of concern, managers have turned to PIT (passive integrated transponder) tag studies with in‐stream detectors to monitor movements of tagged individuals throughout river networks. However,...
