Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Estimating abundance is one of the most fundamental and important aspects of population biology, with major implications on how the status of a population is perceived and thus on conservation and management efforts.

Survival rates of adult and juvenile gyrfalcons in Iceland: estimates and drivers [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Knowledge of survival rates and their potential covariation with environmental drivers, for both adults and juveniles, is paramount to forecast the population dynamics of long-lived animals.

Challenges of implementing Mark-recapture studies on poorly marked gregarious delphinids. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Population parameters of poorly marked gregarious species are difficult to estimate. This is the case for common dolphins (Delphinus sp.), a genus known for its lack of distinctive marks resulting in a low mark ratio.

Evaluating techniques for sampling stream crayfish (paranephrops planifrons) [PDF]
, 1997 We evaluated several capture and analysis techniques for estimating abundance and size structure of freshwater crayfish (Paranephrops planifrons) (koura) from a forested North Island, New Zealand stream to provide a methodological basis for future ...

A comparison of four different methods to estimate population size of Alpine marmot (Marmota marmota) [PDF]
, 2017 Obtaining reliable information on animal abundance in mountainous landscapes is challenging. Highly heterogeneous habitats tend to reduce detection probabilities, and the three-dimensional, rugged nature of the terrain poses severe limits to the ...

Validation of close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) methods for estimating population abundance
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Knowing how many individuals there are in a population is a fundamental problem in the management and conservation of freshwater and marine fish. We compare abundance estimates (census size, Nc) in seven brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis populations ...

State-space mark-recapture estimates reveal a recent decline in abundance of North Atlantic right whales. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2017 North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis Müller 1776) present an interesting problem for abundance and trend estimation in marine wildlife conservation.
