Home‐site fidelity and homing behavior of the big‐headed turtle Platysternon megacephalum

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Site fidelity refers to the restriction of dispersal distance of an animal and its tendency to return to a stationary site. To our knowledge, the homing ability of freshwater turtles and their fidelity is reportedly very low in Asia.

A field comparison of two capture-mark-recapture estimators of small mammal populations [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zoologia, 1999
The results obtained by two estimators of population sizes, MNKA and Mh, were compared for four species of small mammmals - Didelphis aurita Wied, 1826, Philander frenata (Olfers, 1818), Nectomys squamipes (Brants, 1827) and Akodon cursor (Winge, 1887) - during a long-term population study.

Towards the mother-of-all-models: customised construction of the mark-recapture likelihood function [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2004
With a proliferation of mark–recapture models and studies collecting mark–recapture data, software and analysis methods are being continually revised. We consider the construction of the likelihood for a general model that incorporates all the features ...

Reliability of catch per unit effort (CPUE) for evaluation of reintroduction programs – A comparison of the mark-recapture method with standardized trapping

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011
Catch per unit effort (CPUE) is used as a standardized trapping method by local fishermen and in monitoring studies. In this study, CPUE was compared with population estimates made with a capture-recapture method based on the passive ...

Trap configuration and spacing influences parameter estimates in spatial capture-recapture models. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
An increasing number of studies employ spatial capture-recapture models to estimate population size, but there has been limited research on how different spatial sampling designs and trap configurations influence parameter estimators.

Capture Mark Recapture data of M. Natalensis in Morogoro, Tanzania in 2010-2012

open access: yes, 2023
Brief summary of dataset contents, contextualized in experimental procedures and results: Population and infection data was collected following a standard capture mark recapture method on an open population of M. natalensis in Morogoro, Tanzania. A regular grid of 300 traps with traps placed every 10 metres was used.

Evidence of high longevity in an Island lacertid, Teira dugesii (Milne-Edwards, 1829). First data on wild specimens

open access: yesActa Herpetologica, 2012
Using the technique of capture, mark and recapture, here is reported a case of high longevity in the Madeiran lizard, Teira dugesii. It is one of the highest reported values for lacertid lizards (16 years or more) in a wild population.

Individual heterogeneity and identifiability in capture-recapture models [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2004
Individual heterogeneity in detection probabilities is a far more serious problem for capture-recapture modeling than has previously been recognized.

Incorporating space in hierarchical capture mark recapture models: can we better capture variance?

open access: yes, 2022
AbstractCapture mark recapture (CMR) models allow the estimation of various components of animal populations, such as survival and recapture probabilities. In recent years, incorporating the spatial distribution of the devices used to detect an animals’ presence has become possible.

IMPACT OF PUUMALA VIRUS INFECTION ON MATURATION AND SURVIVAL IN BANK VOLES: A CAPTURE-MARK-RECAPTURE ANALYSIS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Wildlife Diseases, 2012
Many zoonotic diseases are caused by rodent-borne viruses. Major fluctuations in the transmission of these viruses have been related to large changes in reservoir host population numbers due to external factors. However, the impact of the pathogen itself on the demography of its reservoir host is often overlooked.
