Finite mixture models of heterogeneous capture probabilities for mark-recapture estimation of closed population size

, 2001
Heterogeneity in capture probabilities among animals is a common problem for estimation of animal population size from mark-recapture data. We model animals as belonging to discrete groups in which animals have the same probabilities of first capture and

Evaluation of population densities of the common wolf spider Pardosa agrestis (Araneae: Lycosidae) in Hungarian alfalfa fields using mark-recapture

European Journal of Entomology, 2000
The absolute population density of adult Pardosa agrestis (Westring, 1862), the dominant epigeic spider species in many arable lands in Central Europe, was quantified in two alfalfa fields using a multiple mark-recapture method.

Drivers and Challenges of Micro‐Irrigation Adoption and Intensity in India: A Study of Four States

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT India's food security relies substantially on groundwater, but inefficient irrigation is seriously depleting this resource. Micro‐irrigation (MI) improves irrigation application efficiency and productivity, yet adoption remains low. This study examines MI adoption across four major Indian states—Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and ...

A comparison of linear transect and capture recapture methods results in Iranian Jerboa population density and abundance estimation in Mirabad plains, Shahreza

یافته‌های نوین در علوم زیستی, 2019
During a period from spring 2008 till fall 2010, Iranian Jerboa population abundance was estimated using distance (linear transect) and capture-recapture methods in the Mirabad plains near Shahreza city in Isfahan Province.

Why Faculty “Fail to Fail”: A Study of US Dental School Faculty Perceptions About Assigning Failing Ratings and Grades

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The “failure to fail” phenomenon, faculty reluctance to assign failing grades to underperforming learners, poses persistent challenges in health professions education. This study examines the prevalence, contributing factors, and contextual patterns of this phenomenon in US dental education.

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 ...

Rcapture: Loglinear Models for Capture-Recapture in R [PDF]

This article introduces Rcapture, an R package for capture-recapture experiments. The data for analysis consists of the frequencies of the observable capture histories over the t capture occasions of the experiment. A capture history is a vector of zeros

Navigating Acceptability: A Think‐Aloud Study of Subjective and Contextual Factors in Radiographic Image Rejection

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study investigated how radiographers assess radiographic image quality using the think‐aloud technique. It reveals that image quality assessment is shaped by both technical standards and subjective, contextual factors, including patient condition and interprofessional dynamics. This highlights the importance of balancing standardised criteria with

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 ...
