Single-species occupancy models
Single-species occupancy models (MacKenzie et al., 2002) are widely used in ecology to estimate and predict the spatial distribution of a species from data collected in presence–absence repeated surveys. The popularity of these models stems from their ability to estimate the effects of environmental or management covariates on species occurrences, while accounting for false-negative errors in detection, which are common in surveys of natural populations.
Multi-species occupancy models
Multi-species occupancy models for estimating the effects of environmental covariates on several species occurrences while accounting for imperfect detection were build on the principle of the Single-species occupancy model, and developed more than 20 years ago.
Multi-species occupancy models are a powerful tool for combining information from multiple species to estimate both individual and community-level responses to management and environmental variables.
Objective
We want to asses the effect of protected areas on the occupancy of the species. We hypothesize that several mammal species have benefited of the conservation actions provided by protected areas, so we expect a decreases in occupancy from the interior of the protected area to the exterior as a function of the distance to the protected area border.
To account for several ecological factors we also tested and included elevation and forest integrity index as occupancy covariates.
We used the newly developed R package spOccupancy as approach to modelling the probability of occurrence of each species as a function of fixed effects of measured environmental covariates and random effects designed to account for unobserved sources of spatial dependence (spatial autocorrelation).

Fitting a Multi-Species Spatial Occupancy Model
We use a more computationally efficient approach for fitting spatial multi-species occupancy models. This alternative approach is called a “spatial factor multi-species occupancy model”, and is described in depth in Doser, Finley, and Banerjee (2023). This newer approach also accounts for residual species correlations (i.e., it is a joint species distribution model with imperfect detection). The simulation results from Doser, Finley, and Banerjee (2023) show that this new alternative approach outperforms, or performs equally to spMsPGOcc(), while being substantially faster.

Arrange spatial covariates
The standard EPSG code for a Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection for South America is EPSG:10603 (WGS 84 / GLANCE South America). This projection is specifically designed for the continent and has its center located around the central meridian for the region. The units are meters.
FLII scores range from 0 (lowest integrity) to 10 (highest). Grantham discretized this range to define three broad illustrative categories: low (≤6.0); medium (>6.0 and <9.6); and high integrity (≥9.6).

The data must be placed in a three-dimensional array with dimensions corresponding to species, sites, and replicates in that order.
The function sfMsPGOcc
Fits multi-species spatial occupancy models with species correlations (i.e., a spatially-explicit joint species distribution model with imperfect detection). We use Polya-Gamma latent variables and a spatial factor modeling approach. Currently, models are implemented using a Nearest Neighbor Gaussian Process.

We next perform a posterior predictive check using the Freeman-Tukey statistic grouping the data by sites. We summarize the posterior predictive check with the summary() function, which reports a Bayesian p-value. A Bayesian p-value that hovers around 0.5 indicates adequate model fit, while values less than 0.1 or greater than 0.9 suggest our model does not fit the data well (Hobbs and Hooten 2015). As always with a simulation-based analysis using MCMC, you will get numerically slightly different values.

Important
A Bayesian p-value that around 0.5 indicates adequate model fit, while values less than 0.1 or greater than 0.9 suggest our model does not fit the data well.
Model comparison
Code
# 4. Model comparison -----------------------------------------------------# Compute Widely Applicable Information Criterion (WAIC)# Lower values indicate better model fit. waicOcc(out.null)
Bayesian p-values can be inspected to check for lack of fit (overall or by species). Lack of fit at significance level = 0.05 is indicated by Bayesian p-values below 0.025 or greater than 0.975. The overall Bayesian p-value (Bpvalue) indicates no problems with lack of fit. Likewise, species-level Bayesian p-values (Bpvalue_species) indicate no lack of fit for any species.
Gelman and Rubin’s convergence diagnostic: Approximate convergence is diagnosed when the upper limit is close to 1.
Convergence is diagnosed when the chains have ‘forgotten’ their initial values, and the output from all chains is indistinguishable. The gelman.diag diagnostic is applied to a single variable from the chain. It is based a comparison of within-chain and between-chain variances, and is similar to a classical analysis of variance.
Values substantially above 1 indicate lack of convergence.
