Subterranean systems provide a suitable overwintering habitat for Salamandra salamandra
International Journal of Speleology, 2017 The fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) has been repeatedly noted to occur in natural and artificial subterranean systems. Despite the obvious connection of this species with underground shelters, their level of dependence and importance to the ...

Estudio crítico del modelo de Manly-Parr
Revista de Matemática: Teoría y Aplicaciones, 2009 Manly and Parr in 1968 obtain a model which give an estimation of the parameters of an animal population. The model presents some weakness on the specifications of the class of individual in the population.

Identifying the demographic pathways linking environmental covariates to population dynamics in an avian migrant. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Understanding and predicting the effects of climate change on populations requires linking the environmental conditions to demographic rates and the demographic rates to population‐level consequences, but often this complete demographic pathway is not studied.

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 ...

Designing screening protocols for amphibian disease that account for imperfect and variable capture rates of individuals [PDF]
, 2014 The amphibian chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, is one of the main factors in global amphibian decline. Accurate knowledge of its presence and prevalence in an area is needed to trigger conservation actions. However, imperfect capture rates

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 Influence of Mark-Recapture Sampling Effort on Estimates of Rock Lobster Survival. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Five annual capture-mark-recapture surveys on Jasus edwardsii were used to evaluate the effect of sample size and fishing effort on the precision of estimated survival probability. Datasets of different numbers of individual lobsters (ranging from 200 to
