Dr Kéry is a Population Ecologist with the Swiss Ornithological Institute and a courtesy professor ("Privatdozent") at the University of Zürich/Switzerland, from where he received his PhD in Ecology in 2000. He is an expert in the estimation and modeling of abundance, distribution and species richness in "metapopulation designs" (i.e., collections of replicate sites). For most of his work, he uses the Bayesian model fitting software BUGS and JAGS, about which he has published three books with Academic Press (2010, 2012 and 2016). He has authored/coauthored over 100 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and is teaching statistical modeling workshops about the methods in this book at…
