A review of genomics methods and bioinformatics tools for the analysis of close-kin mark-recapture
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.

The state of the art in cost-benefit of HTS methods for stock assessment: An overview
Over the past two decades, enormous progresses have been made in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) method development. This fact unveiled the potential usefulness of HTS methods in a wide range of fields such as fishery assessment and management, for ...

Female dispersal and isolation-by-distance of Nasonia vitripennis populations in a local mate competition context [PDF]
Dispersal behavior directly influences the level of inbreeding, but the effect of inbreeding avoidance on dispersal is less well studied. The parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae) is known to mate ...

Validation of close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) methods for estimating population abundance [PDF]
Under embargo until: 2020-06-181. Knowing how many individuals there are in a population is a fundamental problem in the management and conservation of freshwater and marine fish.

Estimating the number of faults: efficiency of removal, recapture, and seeding [PDF]
Various experimental designs for estimating the number of faults in a system are studied including: (1) removal of each fault as it is detected; (2) marking of each fault as it is detected; and (3) introduction of a known number of faults into the system

Demographic History and Population Structure of Polistes fuscatus Paper Wasps [PDF]
Limited dispersal and cooperation are predicted to coevolve in cooperatively breeding systems. In Polistes paper wasps, mark-recapture studies and genetic analyses have shown that both cooperative and solitary nesting gynes can exhibit natal philopatry.

Antagonistic effect of helpers on breeding male and female survival in a cooperatively breeding bird. [PDF]
1. Cooperatively breeding species are typically long lived and hence, according to theory, are expected to maximize their lifetime reproductive success through maximizing survival.

Females tend to prefer genetically similar mates in an island population of house sparrows [PDF]
BACKGROUND: It is often proposed that females should select genetically dissimilar mates to maximize offspring genetic diversity and avoid inbreeding.
