In November 2008, a two-day symposium of 25 invited papers on the theme of search and detection: theory and application in disease and wildlife management was held in Wellington. Papers were presented to an audience of about 60 people by authors from New Zealand, Canada, Australia, Mexico, and the USA. Some of these papers are published in this special issue, along with two on the theme that were submitted after the symposium. The abstracts of the other papers presented at the symposium are reprinted in this issue.
