Analysing mark-recapture-recovery data in the presence of missing covariate data via multiple imputation [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

CMRnet: An r package to derive networks of social interactions and movement from mark–recapture data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Long‐term capture–mark–recapture data provide valuable information on the movements of individuals between locations, and the contemporary and/or co‐located captures of individuals can be used to approximate the social structure of populations.

The yellow European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) may adopt a sedentary lifestyle in inland freshwaters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We analysed the movements of the growing yellow phase using a long-term mark–recapture programme on European eels in a small catchment (the Frémur, France). The results showed that of the yellow eels (>200 mm) recaptured, more than 90% were recaptured at

Bayesian mark–recapture–resight–recovery models: increasing user flexibility in the BUGS language

open access: yesEcosphere, 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.

Extending the Latent Multinomial Model with Complex Error Processes and Dynamic Markov Bases [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Rejection of Schmidt et al.'s estimators for bear population size

open access: yesEcology 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.

Abundance of bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus (Cetacea: Delphinidae), inhabiting the Patos Lagoon estuary, southern Brazil: implications for conservation

open access: yesZoologia (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 ...

Absolute abundance of southern bluefin tuna estimated by close-kin mark-recapture. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Commun, 2016
Southern bluefin tuna is a highly valuable, severely depleted species, whose abundance and productivity have been difficult to assess with conventional fishery data.

Full Open Population Capture-Recapture Models with Individual Covariates [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Abundance estimation from genetic mark-recapture data when not all sites are sampled: an example with the bowhead whale

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2019
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.
