Integration of mark-recapture and acoustic detections for unbiased population estimation in animal communities. [PDF]
Ecology, 2022 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

Expanding the feasibility of fish and wildlife assessments with close‐kin mark–recapture
Ecosphere, 2020 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

Population abundance in arctic grayling using genetics and close-kin mark-recapture. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 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]
J Insect Sci, 2020 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

Accurate recapture identification for genetic mark–recapture studies with error-tolerant likelihood-based match calling and sample clustering [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Error-tolerant likelihood-based match calling presents a promising technique to accurately identify recapture events in genetic mark–recapture studies by combining probabilities of latent genotypes and probabilities of observed genotypes, which may ...

Mark-recapture and mark-resight methods for estimating abundance with remote cameras: a carnivore case study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Abundance estimation of carnivore populations is difficult and has prompted the use of non-invasive detection methods, such as remotely-triggered cameras, to collect data.

Integrating high‐speed videos in capture‐mark‐recapture studies of insects [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Capture–mark–recapture (CMR) studies have been used extensively in ecology and evolution. While it is feasible to apply CMR in some animals, it is considerably more challenging in small fast‐moving species such as insects.

A Cretaceous peak in family-level insect diversity estimated with mark-recapture methodology. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2019 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 ...

A mark-recapture approach for estimating population size of the endangered ringed seal (Phoca hispida saimensis). [PDF]
PLoS One, 2019 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 ...
