Construct a hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate Nene population dynamics and evaluate monitoring strategies

The National Park Service intends to fund a project to construct a hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate Nene population dynamics and evaluate monitoring strategies. The project will be undertaken in cooperation with the Conservation Science Partners, a partner under the Hawai'i-Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The project aims to provide a better understanding of the Nene population and develop effective monitoring strategies. Key aspects of the project include: • Constructing a hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate Nene population dynamics • Evaluating monitoring strategies to inform conservation efforts • Collaboration with the Conservation Science Partners • Focus on the Nene population in Hawaii
