Fishes, 2023 Extra-Poisson variance in annual reproductive success can affect the precision of abundance estimates made using ‘close-kin’ mark–recapture procedures. However, empirical evaluation of that variance in natural marine populations can be daunting.

Close-kin mark-recapture informs critically endangered terrestrial mammal status
Scientific Reports, 2023 Reliable information on population size is fundamental to the management of threatened species. For wild species, mark-recapture methods are a cornerstone of abundance estimation. Here, we show the first application of the close-kin mark-recapture (CKMR)

Population abundance in arctic grayling using genetics and close‐kin mark‐recapture
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) are among the most widely distributed and abundant freshwater fish in the Yukon Territory of Canada, yet little information exists regarding their broad and fine‐scale population structures or the number and size of ...

A simulation-based evaluation of methods for estimating census population size of terrestrial game species from genetically-identified parent-offspring pairs [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Estimates of wildlife population size are critical for conservation and management, but accurate estimates are difficult to obtain for many species. Several methods have recently been developed that estimate abundance using kinship relationships observed

Considering sampling bias in close‐kin mark–recapture abundance estimates of Atlantic salmon
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Genetic methods for the estimation of population size can be powerful alternatives to conventional methods. Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) is based on the principles of conventional mark–recapture, but instead of being physically marked, individuals are

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

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 ...
