Estimating Demographic Parameters for Bearded Seals, Erignathus barbatus, in Alaska Using Close-Kin Mark-Recapture Methods. [PDF]
Reliable estimates of population abundance and demographics are essential for managing harvested species. Ice‐associated phocids, “ice seals,” are a vital resource for subsistence‐dependent coastal Native communities in western and northern Alaska, USA ...

Age is not just a number: How incorrect ageing impacts close-kin mark-recapture estimates of population size. [PDF]
Population 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.

Application of CKMR methods to infer intervention impact.
CKMR methods are applied to a simulated population of 3,000 adult Ae. aegypti with bionomic parameters listed in Table 1 and the optimal sampling scheme for estimating adult parameters (a total of 1,000 adult females sampled biweekly over three months ...

Genes, fish and fisheries: translating science into policy
Abstract The 2024 Annual Symposium of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles reviewed the burgeoning impact of ‘omics’ technologies on fish ecology, management and forecasting. As with life sciences more generally, major advances in speed, cost‐effectiveness and breadth of applications in ‘omics’ has had profound societal and environmental impacts.

Population size estimation of swordfish through Close-Kin Mark Recapture
International audience“Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) is managed in the Indian Ocean by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) and is of special economic importance. Currently IOTC estimates the swordfish stock size using SS3 models based on CPUE which can

Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.

How Do They Know? What Do They Know? And How Do They Adapt? Understanding Traditional Climate Change Adaptation Strategies of Pastoralists in Central Karakoram [PDF]
The recent climate change is inherently anthropogenic and unprecedently faster than the changes in Earth’s climate caused by the complex interplay of atmospheric and astronomical factors over geological time scales and the decades of global efforts to ...

Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer
Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.
