Construction and performance of a novel capture-mark-release moth trap [PDF]
, 2017 Mark-recapture studies can provide important information about moth movement as well as habitat preference across a landscape, but to date, such studies tend to be species-specific or require labor-intensive methodologies.

Analysing mark-recapture-recovery data in the presence of missing covariate data via multiple imputation [PDF]
, 2014 We consider mark–recapture–recovery data with additional individual time-varying continuous covariate data. For such data it is common to specify the model parameters, and in particular the survival probabilities, as a function of these covariates to ...

Bayesian mark–recapture–resight–recovery models: increasing user flexibility in the BUGS language
Ecosphere, 2021 Estimating demographic parameters of interest is a critical component of applied conservation biology and evolutionary ecology, where demographic models and demographic data have become increasingly complex over the last several decades.

Rejection of Schmidt et al.'s estimators for bear population size
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Aerial distance sampling of bears to estimate population size has been used throughout many parts of Alaska. The distance sampling models are complex since they need to account for undetected bears and differences in detection probabilities.

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2011 A new mark-recapture abundance estimate and a photographic census were carried out to investigate the possible decline in the abundance of the bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus (Montagu, 1821), in the Patos Lagoon estuary due to the high levels of ...

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 ...

An 11-digit identification system for individual Nile crocodiles using natural markings
Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2016 Research and conservation of wild crocodiles and husbandry of captive crocodiles requires the reliable identification of individuals. We present a method using the individual colour markings on the first 10 single-crest scutes on the tails of Nile ...

Towards the mother-of-all-models: customised construction of the mark-recapture likelihood function [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2004 With a proliferation of mark–recapture models and studies collecting mark–recapture data, software and analysis methods are being continually revised. We consider the construction of the likelihood for a general model that incorporates all the features ...

Isolation by distance in a population of a small land snail Trochoidea geyeri : evidence from direct and indirect methods [PDF]
, 2006 Population structure was estimated in a continuous population of a small land snail (Trochoidea geyeri). Mark-recapture experiments and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analyses indicate that the population structure can be described by the isolation ...
