Arenavirus infection correlates with lower survival of its natural rodent host in a long-term capture-mark-recapture study. [PDF]
Parasite evolution is hypothesized to select for levels of parasite virulence that maximise transmission success. When host population densities fluctuate, low levels of virulence with limited impact on the host are expected, as this should increase the ...

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]
The ratio of the effective number of breeders (N b) to the adult census size (N a), N b/N a, approximates the departure from the standard capacity of a population to maintain genetic diversity in one reproductive season.

Abstract: We performed a capture‐mark‐recapture study on one of the last populations of Zingel asper , an endemic percid species of the Rhône River basin in France. The distribution of Z.

Chew-cards can accurately index invasive rat densities in Mariana Island forests [PDF]
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 ...

Genetic fingerprinting proves cross-correlated automatic photo-identification of individuals as highly efficient in large capture-mark-recapture studies. [PDF]
Capture–mark–recapture (CMR) approaches are the backbone of many studies in population ecology to gain insight on the life cycle, migration, habitat use, and demography of target species.

Survival rates of adult and juvenile gyrfalcons in Iceland: estimates and drivers [PDF]
Knowledge of survival rates and their potential covariation with environmental drivers, for both adults and juveniles, is paramount to forecast the population dynamics of long-lived animals.

Accurate recapture identification for genetic mark–recapture studies with error-tolerant likelihood-based match calling and sample clustering [PDF]
Error-tolerant likelihood-based match calling presents a promising technique to accurately identify recapture events in genetic mark–recapture studies by combining probabilities of latent genotypes and probabilities of observed genotypes, which may ...

Simple Estimation and Test Procedures in Capture–Mark–Recapture Mixed Models [PDF]
SummaryThe need to consider in capture‐recapture models random effects besides fixed effects such as those of environmental covariates has been widely recognized over the last years. However, formal approaches require involved likelihood integrations, and conceptual and technical difficulties have slowed down the spread of capture–recapture mixed ...
