Mark-recapture studies and demography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
© Oxford University Press 2008. All rights reserved. Population ecologists track wild animals over their lifetimes using markrecapture methods. Odonates are easily marked and remain near water bodies, allowing for high recapture rates.

Evaluation of Panoramic Acquisition Errors by Predoctoral Dental Students

open access: yesJournal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Panoramic radiography is commonly used in the management of dental‐alveolar pathology. Novice clinicians are prone to technical errors that diminish the diagnostic quality of radiographs. The objective of this study was to analyze technical errors made during panoramic exposures by third‐year (D3) dental students in order to enhance

Hierarchial mark-recapture models: a framework for inference about demographic processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The development of sophisticated mark-recapture models over the last four decades has provided fundamental tools for the study of wildlife populations, allowing reliable inference about population sizes and demographic rates based on clearly formulated ...

Corticosterone Under Experimental Manipulation of Nutrition and Parasite Burden in a Wild Rodent System

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pressures shape survival and life‐history dynamics partly by triggering the release of glucocorticoids, whose short‐term benefits but long‐term costs make it essential to understand what drives their levels. Here, we used an experimental manipulation of two environmental stressors—food availability and parasite burden—to directly

Navigating Acceptability: A Think‐Aloud Study of Subjective and Contextual Factors in Radiographic Image Rejection

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study investigated how radiographers assess radiographic image quality using the think‐aloud technique. It reveals that image quality assessment is shaped by both technical standards and subjective, contextual factors, including patient condition and interprofessional dynamics. This highlights the importance of balancing standardised criteria with

Evidence of high longevity in an Island lacertid, Teira dugesii (Milne-Edwards, 1829). First data on wild specimens

open access: yesActa Herpetologica, 2012
Using the technique of capture, mark and recapture, here is reported a case of high longevity in the Madeiran lizard, Teira dugesii. It is one of the highest reported values for lacertid lizards (16 years or more) in a wild population.

Results of capture-mark-recapture analysis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Survival probability (Φ) and recapture probability (p) were modelled depending on sex (s), year (y), year squared (y2), and egg-laying date of the clutch in which the individual was born (ld).Results of capture-mark-recapture analysis.

Failure in Motion: A Framework for Capability Erosion and Institutional Dysfunction

open access: yesStrategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on the literature on capability erosion and institutional dysfunction (ID), this study develops a conceptual framework that sheds new light on how the interaction between capability erosion and ID creates conditions for business failure across borders. By articulating two dimensions of heterogeneous capability and resource erosion (i.e.

A comparison of monitoring methods for inferring demographics of a pond‐breeding amphibian population over 14 years

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used 4 sampling methods to estimate or index the abundance and sex ratio of spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) over 14 years. The present study highlights the importance of considering individual heterogeneity in capture probability when estimating abundance of pond‐breeding amphibians from capture data with imperfect detection. Abstract Long‐
