Expanding the feasibility of fish and wildlife assessments with close‐kin mark–recapture
Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) is a powerful new method for the assessment of fish and wildlife population dynamics. Unlike traditional mark–recapture techniques, the use of kinship as an identifying mark is robust to many forms of capture heterogeneity

Integration of mark-recapture and acoustic detections for unbiased population estimation in animal communities. [PDF]
Abundance estimation methods that combine several types of data are becoming increasingly common because they yield more accurate and precise parameter estimates and predictions than are possible from a single data source. These beneficial effects result

Population abundance in arctic grayling using genetics and close-kin mark-recapture. [PDF]
Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) are among the most widely distributed and abundant freshwater fish in the Yukon Territory of Canada, yet little information exists regarding their broad and fine‐scale population structures or the number and size of ...

A Simple, Inexpensive Method for Mark-Recapture of Ixodid Ticks. [PDF]
Mark-recapture techniques have been widely used and specialized to study organisms throughout the field of biology. To mark-recapture ticks (Ixodida), we have created a simple method to mark ticks using nail polish applied with an insect pin secured in a

Joint estimation of growth and survival from mark-recapture data to improve estimates of senescence in wild populations. [PDF]
Understanding age-dependent patterns of survival is fundamental to predicting population dynamics, understanding selective pressures, and estimating rates of senescence.

From February 1999 to August 2002 ca 9,000km (840 hours) of search effort and 549 hours of observation on Irrawaddy dolphins (Orcaella brevirostris) were conducted by boat in the Mahakam River in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. An abundance estimate based on

A Cretaceous peak in family-level insect diversity estimated with mark-recapture methodology. [PDF]
The history of insects’ taxonomic diversity is poorly understood. The two most common methods for estimating taxonomic diversity in deep time yield conflicting results: the ‘range through’ method suggests a steady, nearly monotonic increase in family ...

Estimating bee abundance: can mark-recapture methods validate common sampling protocols?
Wild bees can be essential pollinators in natural, agricultural, and urban systems, but populations of some species have declined. Efforts to assess the status of wild bees are hindered by uncertainty in common sampling methods, such as pan traps and ...

A mark-recapture approach for estimating population size of the endangered ringed seal (Phoca hispida saimensis). [PDF]
Reliable population estimates are fundamental to the conservation of endangered species. We evaluate here the use of photo-identification (photo-ID) and mark-recapture techniques for estimating the population size of the endangered Saimaa ringed seal ...
