Ecosphere, 2021 Accurate population estimates are essential for monitoring and managing wildlife populations. Mark–recapture sampling methods have regularly been used to estimate population parameters for rare and cryptic species, including the federally listed Mojave ...

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

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.

Recapture heterogeneity in cliff swallows: increased exposure to mist nets leads to net avoidance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Ecologists often use mark-recapture to estimate demographic variables such as abundance, growth rate, or survival for samples of wild animal populations.

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.

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 ...

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 ...
