Some methods for using missing evidence models to explain incidental animal carcasses in non-monitoring years

Executive Summary We evaluated three methods for accounting for incidental carcasses when estimating an upper bound 𝑀∗ on total mortality (𝑀), using the missing evidence model (EoA; Dalthorp et al., 2017 ) to assess compliance with incidental take permits (ITPs) ( Dalthorp & Huso, 2015 ), a protocol that includes formal, dedicated carcass surveys to achieve overall detection
