空间明确的捕获再捕获模型的出现正在改变生态学家分析捕获再捕获数据的方式。然而，这些新模型提供的优势并未得到充分利用，因为它们可能难以实施。为了满足这一需求，我们开发了一个用户友好的软件包，在 R 编程环境中创建，称为 SPACECAP。该包实现贝叶斯空间显式分层模型来分析空间捕获和重新捕获数据。鉴于大量现场生物学家更喜欢使用具有图形用户界面的软件来分析数据，SPACECAP 作为一种工具特别有用，可以在实践中增加贝叶斯空间显式捕获重捕获方法的采用。
The advent of spatially explicit capturerecapture models is changing the way ecologists analyse capturerecapture data. However, the advantages offered by these new models are not fully exploited because they can be difficult to implement. To address this need, we developed a user-friendly software package, created within the R programming environment, called SPACECAP. This package implements Bayesian spatially explicit hierarchical models to analyse spatial capturerecapture data. Given that a large number of field biologists prefer software with graphical user interfaces for analysing their data, SPACECAP is particularly useful as a tool to increase the adoption of Bayesian spatially explicit capturerecapture methods in practice.
