A decade of humpback whale abundance estimates at Bermuda, an oceanic migratory stopover site
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 We constructed annual abundance of a migratory baleen whale at an oceanic stopover site to elucidate temporal changes in Bermuda, an area with increasing anthropogenic activity.

Climatic Variability Threatens Population Growth and Persistence of a Declining Grassland Songbird. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDetermining the factors responsible for population change in threatened populations and the degree to which changing climates might put those populations at risk is one of the most pressing roles of conservation science. We tested whether increasing variability in weather could have driven recent declines in songbird population numbers using detailed ...

A conversation with Richard M. Cormack [PDF]
, 2016 Richard Melville Cormack is one of the giants who developed the theory of mark-recapture. Referring to his key paper in 1964, and the papers published back-to-back in 1965 by George Jolly and George Seber, the `Cormack-Jolly-Seber model' is central to ...

Extending the Latent Multinomial Model with Complex Error Processes and Dynamic Markov Bases [PDF]
, 2015 The latent multinomial model (LMM) model of Link et al. (2010) provided a general framework for modelling mark-recapture data with potential errors in identification. Key to this approach was a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) scheme for sampling possible

The Effect of Novel Research Activities on Long-term Survival of Temporarily Captive Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Two novel research approaches were developed to facilitate controlled access to, and long-term monitoring of, juvenile Steller sea lions for periods longer than typically afforded by traditional fieldwork.

Full Open Population Capture-Recapture Models with Individual Covariates [PDF]
, 2010 Traditional analyses of capture-recapture data are based on likelihood functions that explicitly integrate out all missing data. We use a complete data likelihood (CDL) to show how a wide range of capture-recapture models can be easily fitted using ...
