Abstract: The article presents which investigates the estimates of the population impact in wildlife using dynamic occupancy models. The study examines the models' statistical power to detect the changes in colonization and local survival from detection-nondetection data in Before-After Control-Impact (BACI) framework. Study reveals that occupancy studies conducted in BACI design help in detecting environmental impacts in wildlife populations without intensive costs.
