The mark-recapture method allows analysis on the variation in the abundance of bat ectoparasites at consecutive captures. The objectives of this study were to compare the pattern of Streblidae parasitism between capture and recapture of C. perspicillata;

Recursive Estimation in Capture-Recapture Methods
An important problem in statistical ecology is how to determine the size of an animal population. The best known technique is the capture-recapture technique.

Integrating dead recoveries in open‐population spatial capture–recapture models
Integrating dead recoveries into capture–recapture models can improve inference on demographic parameters. But dead‐recovery data do not only inform on individual fates; they also contain information about individual locations.

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

Newcastle disease virus transmission dynamics in wild peridomestic birds in the United Arab Emirates
To understand the dynamics of a pathogen in an animal population, one must assess how the infection status of individuals changes over time. With wild animals, this can be very challenging because individuals can be difficult to trap and sample, even ...

Integrating high‐speed videos in capture‐mark‐recapture studies of insects
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.

A generalised likelihood framework for partially observed capture-recapture-recovery models
We provide a closed form likelihood expression for multi-state mark-recapture-recovery data when the state of an individual may be only partially observed.

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...
