Dynamics and Viability of a Small, Estuarine-Resident Population of Lahille’s Bottlenose Dolphins From Southern Brazil

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Identifying threatened populations and quantifying their vulnerability is crucial for establishing priorities for conservation and providing robust information for decision-making.

Predicting the spread and persistence of genetically modified dominant sterile male mosquitoes

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Reproductive containment provides an opportunity to implement a staged-release strategy for genetic control of malaria vectors, in particular allowing predictions about the spread and persistence of (self-limiting) sterile and male-biased ...

Review of puma density estimates reveals sources of bias and variation, and the need for standardization

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Range-wide status assessments of wildlife are critical to effective species conservation and management. Reliability of these assessments is contingent on having accurate and precise demographic estimates for local populations, but for large carnivores ...

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

Spatial Mark-Resight for Categorically Marked Populations with an Application to Genetic Capture-Recapture

bioRxiv, 2018
The estimation of animal population density is a fundamental goal in wildlife ecology and management, commonly met using mark recapture or spatial mark recapture (SCR) study designs and statistical methods.

Evaluating and integrating spatial capture–recapture models with data of variable individual identifiability

bioRxiv, 2020
Spatial capture-recapture (SCR) models have become the preferred tool for estimating densities of carnivores. Within this family of models are variants requiring identification of all individuals in each encounter (SCR), a subset of individuals only ...

Probit models for capture-recapture data subject to imperfect detection, individual heterogeneity and misidentification [PDF]

, 2014
As noninvasive sampling techniques for animal populations have become more popular, there has been increasing interest in the development of capture-recapture models that can accommodate both imperfect detection and misidentification of individuals (e.g.,

Comparing performance of multiple non-invasive genetic capture–recapture methods for abundance estimation: a case study with the Sonoran pronghorn Antilocapra americana sonoriensis

Oryx, 2018
Demographic monitoring is required in threatened species management, yet effective and efficient monitoring is challenging for species that are difficult to capture or susceptible to capture stress.

Guidelines for the monitoring of Rosalia alpina [PDF]

, 2017
Rosalia alpina (Linnaeus, 1758) is a large longhorn beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) which is protected by the Habitats Directive and which typically inhabits beech forests characterised by the presence of mature, dead (or moribund) and sun-exposed ...
