Evaluating the suitability of close‐kin mark‐recapture as a demographic modelling tool for a critically endangered elasmobranch population [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, 2023
Estimating the demographic parameters of contemporary populations is essential to the success of elasmobranch conservation programmes, and to understanding their recent evolutionary history. For benthic elasmobranchs such as skates, traditional fisheries‐

Spatial close-kin mark-recapture methods to estimate dispersal parameters and barrier strength for mosquitoes.

PLoS Computational Biology
Close-kin mark-recapture (CKMR) methods have recently been used to infer demographic parameters for several aquatic and terrestrial species. For mosquitoes, the spatial distribution of close-kin pairs has been used to estimate mean dispersal distance, of

Low levels of sibship encourage use of larvae in western Atlantic bluefin tuna abundance estimation by close-kin mark-recapture [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
Globally, tunas are among the most valuable fish stocks, but are also inherently difficult to monitor and assess. Samples of larvae of Western Atlantic bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus (Linnaeus, 1758) from standardized annual surveys in the northern Gulf of

Estimating Demographic Parameters for Bearded Seals, Erignathus barbatus, in Alaska Using Close‐Kin Mark‐Recapture Methods

Evolutionary Applications
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 ...

Spatial close‐kin mark‐recapture models applied to terrestrial species with continuous natal dispersal

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Close‐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 ...

Accounting for unobserved population dynamics and aging error in close‐kin mark‐recapture assessments [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Obtaining robust estimates of population abundance is a central challenge hindering the conservation and management of many threatened and exploited species.

Embedding population dynamics in mark-recapture models [PDF]

, 2009
Mark-recapture methods use repeated captures of individually identifiable animals to provide estimates of properties of populations. Different models allow estimates to be obtained for population size and rates of processes governing population dynamics.

A generalised likelihood framework for partially observed capture-recapture-recovery models [PDF]

, 2013
We provide a closed form likelihood expression for multi-state mark-recapture-recovery data when the state of an individual may be only partially observed.
