Recent advancements in analytical tools used in wildlife science may increase our ability to integrate smaller data sets and enhance the statistical power of population estimates. One such advancement, the development of spatial capture\u2013recapture (SCR) methods, explicitly accounts for differences in spatial study designs, making it possible to equate multiple study designs in one analysis. SCR has been shown to be robust to variation in design as long as minimal sampling guidance is adhered to. However, these expectations are based on simulation and have yet to be evaluated in wild populations. Here we conduct a rigorously designed field experiment by manipulating the arrangement of artificial cover objects (ACOs) used to collect data on red\u2010backed salamanders (<jats:italic>Plethodon cinereus<\/jats:italic>) to empirically evaluate the effects of design configuration on inference made using SCR. Our results suggest that, using SCR, estimates of space use and detectability are sensitive to study design configuration, namely the spacing and extent of the array, and that caution is warranted when assigning biological interpretation to these parameters. However, estimates of population density remain robust to design except when the configuration of detectors grossly violates existing recommendations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/eap.2419","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,19]],"date-time":"2021-07-19T02:45:55Z","timestamp":1626662755000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Experimental evaluation of spatial capture\u2013recapture study design"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2570-914X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jill","family":"Fleming","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center SO Conte Anadromous Fish Laboratory 1 Migratory Way Turners Falls Massachusetts 01376 USA"},{"name":"Department of Environmental Conservation University of Massachusetts 160 Holdsworth Way Amherst Massachusetts 01003 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4401-6496","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Evan H.
