Antagonistic effect of helpers on breeding male and female survival in a cooperatively breeding bird. [PDF]
, 2015 1. Cooperatively breeding species are typically long lived and hence, according to theory, are expected to maximize their lifetime reproductive success through maximizing survival.

Estimating the number of faults: efficiency of removal, recapture, and seeding [PDF]
, 1999 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]
, 2018 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.

Close-kin methods to estimate census size and effective population size
bioRxiv, 2021 The last two decades have witnessed rapid developments and increasing interest in use of (1) genetic methods to estimate effective population size (Ne) and (2) close-kin mark-recapture (CKMR) methods to estimate abundance based on the incidence of close ...

Nearly unbiased estimator of contemporary Ne/N based on kinship relationships
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 This study develops a nearly unbiased estimator of the ratio of the contemporary effective mother size to the census size in a population, as a proxy of the ratio of contemporary effective size (or effective breeding size) to census size (Ne/N or Nb/N ...

Using spatial genetics to quantify mosquito dispersal for control programs
BMC Biology, 2020 Background Hundreds of millions of people get a mosquito-borne disease every year and nearly one million die. Transmission of these infections is primarily tackled through the control of mosquito vectors. The accurate quantification of mosquito dispersal

Temporal and spatial variations of gyne production in the ant Formica exsecta [PDF]
, 2003 Social insects have become a general model for tests of sex allocation theory. However, despite tremendous interest in the topic, we still know remarkably little about the factors that cause dramatic differences in sex allocation among local populations.
