R package for modeling dynamics of the nēnē population in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. The goal of the modeling is to use National Park Service mark-resight, survey, mortality, and spatial data to estimate the nēnē population size and age and sex specific vital rates over time. Estimates will include uncertainty about the ecological processes governing population growth, uncertainty arising from variation in vital rates among individuals, as well as uncertainty in the data used to fit models. Models will be used to forecast the future trajectory of the population and to evaluate alternatives for population monitoring and management. Inference will be made supporting nēnē conservation in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and other important conservation areas on Hawaiʻi island.
