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 comparison of four different methods to estimate population size of Alpine marmot (Marmota marmota) [PDF]
Obtaining reliable information on animal abundance in mountainous landscapes is challenging. Highly heterogeneous habitats tend to reduce detection probabilities, and the three-dimensional, rugged nature of the terrain poses severe limits to the ...

Spatial capture–recapture with random thinning for unidentified encounters
Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models have increasingly been used as a basis for combining capture–recapture data types with variable levels of individual identity information to estimate population density and other demographic parameters.

Trace-contrast models for capture-recapture without capture histories [PDF]
This work was funded by the Royal Society of New Zealand through Marsden Grant 14-UOA-155. Ben Stevenson was supported by EPSRC/NERC Grant EP/1000917/1.Capture-recapture studies increasingly rely upon natural tags that allow animals to be identified by ...

Estimating Abundance of Siberian Roe Deer Using Fecal-DNA Capture-Mark-Recapture in Northeast China
It is necessary to estimate the population abundance of deer for managing their populations. However, most estimates are from high-density populations inhabiting the forests of North America or Europe; there is currently a lack of necessary knowledge ...

Connecting the latent multinomial
Link et al. (2010) define a general framework for analyzing capture-recapture data with potential misidentifications. In this framework, the observed vector of counts, $y$, is considered as a linear function of a vector of latent counts, $x$, such that ...

State space and movement specification in open population spatial capture-recapture models. [PDF]
With continued global changes, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and habitat fragmentation, the need for assessment of long-term population dynamics and population monitoring of threatened species is growing.

Spatial Capture-Recapture for Categorically Marked Populations with An Application to Genetic Capture-Recapture [PDF]
AbstractRecently introduced unmarked spatial capture-recapture (SCR), spatial mark-resight (SMR), and 2-flank spatial partial identity models (SPIM) extend the domain of SCR to populations or observation systems that do not always allow for individual identity to be determined with certainty. For example, some species do not have natural marks that can

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces
Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...
