Abstract
The desire to predict the consequences of global environmental change has
been the driver towards more realistic models embracing the variability and
uncertainties inherent in ecology. Statistical ecology has gelled over the past
decade as a discipline that moves away from describing patterns towards
modelling the ecological processes that generate these patterns. Following
the fourth International Statistical Ecology Conference (1 –4 July 2014) in
Montpellier, France, we analyse current trends in statistical ecology. Impor-
tant advances in the analysis of individual movement, and in the modelling
of population dynamics and species distributions, are made possible by the
increasing use of hierarchical and hidden process models. Exciting research
perspectives include the development of methods to interpret citizen science
data and of efficient, flexible computational algorithms for model fitting. Stat-
istical ecology has come of age: it now provides a general and mathematically
rigorous framework linking ecological theory and empirical data.
