Melding kin structure and demography to elucidate source and sink habitats in fragmented landscapes

Ecosphere, 2015
The source‐sink model undoubtedly is one of the most established paradigms for associating variance in population dynamics with heterogeneity in habitat quality.

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

The use of sequential mark-release-recapture experiments to estimate population size, survival and dispersal of male mosquitoes of the  Anopheles gambiae complex in Bana, a west African humid savannah village

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Vector control is a major component of the malaria control strategy. The increasing spread of insecticide resistance has encouraged the development of new tools such as genetic control which use releases of modified male mosquitoes. The use of

Low genetic variability, female-biased dispersal and high movement rates in an urban population of Eurasian badgersMeles meles [PDF]

, 2008
1. Urban and rural populations of animals can differ in their behaviour, both in order to meet their ecological requirements and due to the constraints imposed by different environments.

A new mark-recapture approach for abundance estimation of social species.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Accurate estimates of population abundance are a critical component of species conservation efforts in order to monitor the potential recovery of populations.

Harnessing Population Genetics for Pest Management: Theory and Application for Urban Rats

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2019
Effective management of rodent pests requires an ecological understanding of how they move through their environment and how those movements influence the invasion, persistence, or reinvasion of problematic colonies.

Comparing urban and wildland bear densities with a DNA-based capture-mark-recapture approach

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
California’s black bear (Ursus americanus) population has tripled over the last 3 decades, causing an increased incidence of human–bear conflicts, many of which now occur in urban areas.

iDNA from terrestrial haematophagous leeches as a wildlife surveying and monitoring tool - prospects, pitfalls and avenues to be developed [PDF]

, 2015
Invertebrate-derived DNA (iDNA) from terrestrial haematophagous leeches has recently been proposed as a powerful non-invasive tool with which to detect vertebrate species and thus to survey their populations.

CHARACTERISTICS OF MANGROVE DIAMONDBACK TERRAPINS (MALACLEMYS TERRAPIN RHIZOPHORARUM) INHABITING ALTERED AND NATURAL MANGROVE ISLANDS [PDF]

, 2014
The Mangrove Diamondback Terrapin, (Malaclemys terrapin rhizophorarum) is dependent on a very broad array of the services provided by the mangrove ecosystem. We sought to evaluate both the turtles and their habitat by an integrated assessment of physical,

Comparison of kinship‐identification methods for robust stock assessment using close‐kin mark–recapture data for Pacific bluefin tuna

Population Ecology
Several attempts have been made to understand the population dynamics of fishery resources, such as tuna species using an integrated analysis model with multiple data sources.
