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

open access: yesPLoS 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

Reproductive Success Dynamics Could Limit Precision in Close-Kin Mark–Recapture Abundance Estimation for Atlantic Goliath Grouper (Epinephelus itajara)

open access: yesFishes, 2023
Extra-Poisson variance in annual reproductive success can affect the precision of abundance estimates made using ‘close-kin’ mark–recapture procedures. However, empirical evaluation of that variance in natural marine populations can be daunting.

Accurate recapture identification for genetic mark–recapture studies with error-tolerant likelihood-based match calling and sample clustering [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2016
Error-tolerant likelihood-based match calling presents a promising technique to accurately identify recapture events in genetic mark–recapture studies by combining probabilities of latent genotypes and probabilities of observed genotypes, which may ...

Estimating abundance of Eastern Canada-West Greenland bowhead whales using genetic mark-recapture analyses

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2023
The Eastern Canada-West Greenland (EC-WG) bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) population is widely distributed across the eastern Canadian Arctic and across Baffin Bay to the western coast of Greenland.

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

open access: yesEvolutionary 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‐

Close-kin mark-recapture informs critically endangered terrestrial mammal status

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Reliable information on population size is fundamental to the management of threatened species. For wild species, mark-recapture methods are a cornerstone of abundance estimation. Here, we show the first application of the close-kin mark-recapture (CKMR)

Close-kin mark-recapture methods to estimate demographic parameters of mosquitoes.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2022
Close-kin mark-recapture (CKMR) methods have recently been used to infer demographic parameters such as census population size and survival for fish of interest to fisheries and conservation.

Spatial capture–recapture with random thinning for unidentified encounters

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models have increasingly been used as a basis for combining capture–recapture data types with variable levels of individual identity information to estimate population density and other demographic parameters.

Evidence for an association between post-fledging dispersal and microsatellite multilocus heterozygosity in a large population of greater flamingos. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Dispersal can be divided into three stages: departure, transience and settlement. Despite the fact that theoretical studies have emphasized the importance of heterozygosity on dispersal strategies, empirical evidence of its effect on different stages of ...

Isolation by distance in a population of a small land snail Trochoidea geyeri : evidence from direct and indirect methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Population structure was estimated in a continuous population of a small land snail (Trochoidea geyeri). Mark-recapture experiments and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analyses indicate that the population structure can be described by the isolation ...
