Assessing the suitability of a one‐time sampling event for close‐kin mark‐recapture: A caribou case study

Ecology and Evolution
Abundance estimation is frequently an objective of conservation and monitoring initiatives for threatened and other managed populations. While abundance estimation via capture–mark–recapture or spatially explicit capture–recapture is now common, such ...

Phylogeography and dispersal in the velvet gecko (Oedura lesueurii), and potential implications for conservation of an endangered snake (Hoplocephalus bungaroides)

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 ...

Rat in a Cage: Trappability of Urban Norway Rats (Rattus norvegicus)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Understanding the local ecology of urban Norway rats (Rattus norevgicus) is necessary to inform effective rat mitigation strategies. While Capture-Mark-Recapture (CMR) methods can be used to acquire such ecological information (e.g., abundance, movement ...

An integrated model improves inferences about survival in the Mojave desert tortoise

Endangered Species Research
The Mojave desert tortoise Gopherus agassizii experienced population declines during recent decades, which have persisted despite its designation as a federally protected species.

Spatial and temporal variation in population dynamics of Andean frogs: Effects of forest disturbance and evidence for declines

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2014
Biodiversity loss is a global phenomenon that can result in the collapse of food webs and critical ecosystem services. Amphibian population decline over the last century is a notable case of species loss because amphibians survived the last four major ...

Survival probabilities of loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta ) estimated from capture-mark-recapture data in the Mediterranean Sea

, 2007
Survival probabilities of loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta ) are estimated for the first time in the Mediterranean by analysing 3254 tagging and 134 re-encounter data from this region. Most of these turtles were juveniles found at sea.

Habitat selection and abundance of common genets using camera capture-mark-recapture data

, 2009
Using camera-trapping techniques, the present study, conducted from 2005 to 2007, provides common genet abundance estimates in Serra da Malcata Nature Reserve (central-eastern Portugal). We estimated genet abundance using the software CAPTURE. It was possible to obtain a capture success of 1.49 captures/100 trap-nights.

Growing as slow as a turtle: Unexpected maturational differences in a small, long-lived species

PLoS ONE, 2021
Turtle body size is associated with demographic and other traits like mating success, reproductive output, maturity, and survival. As such, growth analyses are valuable for testing life history theory, demographic modeling, and conservation planning. Two

Exploring mark-resighting-recovery models to study savannah tree demographics [PDF]

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2004
Despite their sessile nature, juvenile trees in savannah ecosystems are not always easy to encounter. Here, the remedy of choice in animal studies, capture-recapture modelling, is evaluated with respect to plants.
