Primes¶
- Absence as Information
- Survey methodology and ecology. Non-response is informative about who is missing and why, and absence-of-detection is not absence-of-species, motivating occupancy models with explicit detection probability.
This sourceFormalizes occupancy models in which non-detection is not absence-of-species because detection probability is explicitly modeled.

- Absence Of Evidence Vs Evidence Of Absence
- In ecology, "we did not detect the species" becomes evidence of likely extinction only after detection probability is estimated from survey effort, and occupancy models formalize exactly this.
This sourceFormalizes occupancy models that convert non-detection into extinction/absence evidence only after estimating detection probability from survey effort.

Mechanisms¶
- Field Sampling Plan
- Even a well-placed site can miss a species or condition that is present but cryptic
This sourceShows that imperfect detection can make a present species go unobserved at a sampled site, so nondetection is not evidence of absence.
- Even a well-placed site can miss a species or condition that is present but cryptic
- Negative-Claim Exhaustion Check
- Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
This sourceShows that nondetection is not absence unless search effort has enough detection probability to find an occupied site.
- Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
Verification¶
Does it exist? Not confirmed. The DOI recorded for this work did not resolve when it was last checked, so it is shown above but not linked. The citation may still be sound; the recorded identifier is not. Flagged for repair.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 4 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
