Age-Specific Demographic Response of a Long-Lived Scavenger Species to Reduction of Organic Matter in a Landfill [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Food availability shapes demographic parameters and population dynamics. Certain species have adapted to predictable anthropogenic food resources like landfills. However, abrupt shifts in food availability can negatively impact such populations.

Rcapture: Loglinear Models for Capture-Recapture in R [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Software, 2007 This article introduces Rcapture, an R package for capture-recapture experiments. The data for analysis consists of the frequencies of the observable capture histories over the t capture occasions of the experiment. A capture history is a vector of zeros

Understanding the impact of correlation within pair‐bonds on Cormack–Jolly–Seber models [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The Cormack–Jolly–Seber (CJS) model and its extensions have been widely applied to the study of animal survival rates in open populations. The model assumes that individuals within the population of interest have independent fates. It is, however, highly

Salmon Louse Infestation Impairs the Long‐Term Survival of Sea‐Run Brown Trout [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAnadromous salmonids, including sea‐run brown trout, are exposed to ectoparasitic salmon lice during their sea migrations. The development of intensive aquaculture in coastal areas has promoted louse epidemics by substantially increasing the number of ...

Demography and Behaviour of Teinopodagrion oscillans (Odonata: Megapodagrionidae) in a Protected Area of the Colombian Andean Region [PDF]
InsectsThe demography and behaviour of Teinopodagrion oscillans was studied in a protected area in the Andean region of Colombia. Adult damselflies were individually marked, and using their recapture histories, we estimated survival, longevity, sex ratio, and ...

Continuous time-dependent Individual covariates and the Cormack-Jolly-Seber model [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2004 The Cormack-Jolly-Seber model provides the basic framework for analyzing the survival of animals in open populations using capture-recapture data. Extensions of this model have already been developed that allow the survival and capture probabilities to ...

Moderate evidence for the sex‐dependent effect of poisoning on adult survival in a long‐lived raptor species [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSurvival rate is usually the greatest contributor to population growth in long‐lived species, and its accurate estimation along with the evaluation of the factors influencing it is therefore essential for effective conservation.

Interpreting a Sudden Population Decline in a Long‐Lived Species (Malaclemys terrapin rhizophorarum) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionLong‐term ecological studies are critical for providing insight into population dynamics and detecting population declines, particularly for species of conservation concern.

Temperature variation generates interspecific synchrony but spatial asynchrony in survival for freshwater fish communities [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Identifying environmental drivers of demographic variation is key to predicting community‐level impacts in response to global change. Climate conditions can synchronize population trends and can occur both spatially for populations of the same species ...
