Estimating effective population size using close‐kin mark–recapture
Methods in Ecology and EvolutionClose‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) is a method that allows estimating population census size, among other parameters, through the observed number of pairs that are close‐kin including parent–offspring pairs (POPs) and half‐sibling pairs (HSPs).

Methods in Ecology and EvolutionClose‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) methods use information on genetic relatedness among individuals to estimate demographic parameters. An individual's genotype can be considered a ‘recapture’ of each of its parent's genotype, and the frequency of kin‐pair ...

Assessing the suitability of a one‐time sampling event for close‐kin mark‐recapture: A caribou case study [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAbundance 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 ...

A review of genomics methods and bioinformatics tools for the analysis of close-kin mark-recapture
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Stock assessments serve to monitor the condition of fish stocks and exploit them sustainably but require accurate data such as growth and mortality rates as input parameters.

A review of an emerging tool to estimate population parameters: the close-kin mark-recapture method
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Knowing the number of individuals in a population is fundamental for the sustainable management of exploited marine resources but estimating this parameter is often extremely challenging, especially in large, highly mobile and dispersed populations ...

Expanding the feasibility of fish and wildlife assessments with close‐kin mark–recapture
Ecosphere, 2020 Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) is a powerful new method for the assessment of fish and wildlife population dynamics. Unlike traditional mark–recapture techniques, the use of kinship as an identifying mark is robust to many forms of capture heterogeneity

Age is not just a number: How incorrect ageing impacts close‐kin mark‐recapture estimates of population size [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPopulation size is a key parameter for the conservation of animal species. Close‐kin mark‐recapture (CKMR) relies on the observed frequency and type of kinship among individuals sampled from the population to estimate population size.

Simulation-Based Spatially Explicit Close-Kin Mark-Recapture. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Estimating the size of wild populations is a critical priority for ecologists and conservation biologists, but tools to do so are often labour intensive and expensive. A promising set of newer approaches are based on genetic data, which can be cheaper to obtain and less invasive than information from more direct observation.

Collapsible Kernel Machine Regression for Exposomic Analyses. [PDF]
Stat MedABSTRACT An important goal of environmental epidemiology is to quantify the complex health effects posed by a wide array of environmental exposures. In studies of a small number of exposures, flexible models like Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) are appealing because they allow for non‐linear and non‐additive associations among exposures ...
