Integrating high‐speed videos in capture‐mark‐recapture studies of insects [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Capture–mark–recapture (CMR) studies have been used extensively in ecology and evolution. While it is feasible to apply CMR in some animals, it is considerably more challenging in small fast‐moving species such as insects.

Estimating Abundance of Siberian Roe Deer Using Fecal-DNA Capture-Mark-Recapture in Northeast China [PDF]
Animals, 2020 It is necessary to estimate the population abundance of deer for managing their populations. However, most estimates are from high-density populations inhabiting the forests of North America or Europe; there is currently a lack of necessary knowledge ...

Estimating offspring production using capture-mark-recapture and genetic methods in red squirrels. [PDF]
Ecological Research, 2010 Reproductive rate is a key demographic parameter of life history and population ecology. In traditional population-ecology studies of small mammals, this and other vital rates are inferred from capture-mark-recapture (CMR) data. However, CMR assumes that

Twenty-nine years of continuous monthly capture-mark-recapture data of multimammate mice (Mastomys natalensis) in Morogoro, Tanzania [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2023 The multimammate mice (Mastomys natalensis) is the most-studied rodent species in sub-Saharan Africa, where it is an important pest species in agriculture and carrier of zoonotic diseases (e.g. Lassa virus).

Mobile application for wildlife capture–mark–recapture data collection and query
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2013 Capture–mark–recapture (CMR) approaches are often used in the management and conservation of wildlife species and effective approaches to estimate populations rely on accurate data‐collection techniques.

Reliable effective number of breeders/adult census size ratios in seasonal-breeding species: Opportunity for integrative demographic inferences based on capture-mark-recapture data and multilocus genotypes. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2017 The ratio of the effective number of breeders (Nb) to the adult census size (Na), Nb/Na, approximates the departure from the standard capacity of a population to maintain genetic diversity in one reproductive season.

Estimating Leopard population sizes in western Mozambique using SNP-based capture-mark-recapture models. [PDF]
J MammalReliable population size estimates are imperative for effective conservation and management, but are notoriously difficult to obtain for rare, cryptic species such as large carnivores. Genetic capture-mark-recapture (CMR) models can provide robust population size estimates and may be conducted noninvasively during a single sampling period.

Revisiting the effect of capture heterogeneity on survival estimates in capture-mark-recapture studies: does it matter? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Recently developed capture-mark-recapture methods allow us to account for capture heterogeneity among individuals in the form of discrete mixtures and continuous individual random effects.

Phylogeography and dispersal in the velvet gecko (
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background To conserve critically endangered predators, we also need to conserve the prey species upon which they depend. Velvet geckos (Oedura lesueurii) are a primary prey for the endangered broad-headed snake (Hoplocephalus bungaroides), which is ...

Chew-cards can accurately index invasive rat densities in Mariana Island forests [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2022 Rats (Rattus spp.) are likely established on 80–90% of the world’s islands and represent one of the most damaging and expensive biological invaders. Effective rat control tools exist but require accurate population density estimates or indices to inform ...
