Survey data for trumpeter swans were collected throughout Alaska since 1968, but due to design difficulties and past analytical limitations, previous analyses were limited to simple summary statistics. The main purpose of my work was to rigorously analyze these data using advanced methods and determine rates of population change, the effects of environmental change on habitat use, and the influences of habitat features on habitat occupancy. I estimated that the adult population grew at a rate of 5.9% (95% credible interval = 5.2% to 6.6%) and production of cygnets increased at 5.3% (95% credible interval = 2.2% to 8.0%) annually. I also found evidence that variation in occupancy was positively related to average...
