This book reviews and synthesizes studies on local and regional occupancy and abundance of Neotropical mammals from central Mexico to South America. The book focuses primarily on addressing issues of a wide array of mammalian species from a population level in different habitats and ecosystems across the Neotropical region. Occupancy and abundance analyzed through hierarchical approaches with a variety of statistical tools are the central ecological parameters treated in the chapters of this volume. This book will be an updated reference for researchers, professionals, students, wildlife managers, and people interested in mammal ecology and conservation in tropical and subtropical regions.

This book addresses habitat occupancy and population abundance, central parameters for mammal conservation and management Hierarchical models are widely used to obtain robust estimates and inferences on the occupancy and abundance of mammals at various scales. The chapters cover a broad region from the Mexican deserts to the Peruvian andes and the Amazon rainforest
