Detailed Description

SPACECAP is a user-friendly software package for estimating animal densities using
closed model capture-recapture sampling based on photographic captures using Bayesian
spatially-explicit capture-recapture models. This approach offers advantage such as:
substantially dealing with problems posed by individual heterogeneity in capture probabilities in
conventional capture-recapture analyses. It also offers non-asymptotic inferences which are more
appropriate for small samples of capture data typical of photo-capture studies.
