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 ...

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).

The state of the art in cost-benefit of HTS methods for stock assessment: An overview
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 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 ...

Reliability of trans‐generational genetic mark–recapture (tGMR) for enumerating Pacific salmon [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsAs Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) decline across much of their range, it is imperative to further develop minimally invasive tools to quantify population abundance.

Temporal Variability in Effective Size ( N ̂ e ) Identifies Potential Sources of Discrepancies Between Mark Recapture and Close Kin Mark Recapture Estimates of Population Abundance. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourAlthough efforts to estimate effective population size, census size and their ratio in wild populations are expanding, few empirical studies investigate interannual changes in these parameters.

Rapid assessment of adult abundance and demographic connectivity from juvenile kin pairs in a critically endangered species. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2022 The viability of spatially structured populations depends on the abundance and connectivity between subpopulations of breeding adults. Yet, for many species, both are extremely difficult to assess.

Dispersal in Mastomys natalensis mice: use of fine-scale genetic analyses for pest management [PDF]
, 2008 Mastomys natalensis is the major pest rodent in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, population genetic techniques were used to gain new insights into its dispersal behaviour, a critical parameter in pest management.

Female dispersal and isolation-by-distance of Nasonia vitripennis populations in a local mate competition context [PDF]
, 2009 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 ...
