A generalised likelihood framework for partially observed capture-recapture-recovery models [PDF]
, 2013 We provide a closed form likelihood expression for multi-state mark-recapture-recovery data when the state of an individual may be only partially observed.

Does Your Species Have Memory? Analysing Capture-Recapture Data with Memory Models. [PDF]
, 2014 1. We examine memory models for multi-site capture-recapture data. This is an important topic,as animals may exhibit behaviour that is more complex than simple first-order Markov movement between sites, when it is necessary to devise and fit appropriate ...

A non-technical overview of spatially explicit capture-recapture models [PDF]
, 2010 Most capture-recapture studies are inherently spatial in nature, with capture probabilities depending on the location of traps relative to animals. The spatial component of the studies has until recently, however, not been incorporated in statistical ...

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 ...

Estimating demographic parameters for capture-recapture data in the presence of multiple mark types [PDF]
, 2011 In mark-recapture studies, various techniques can be used to uniquely identify individual animals, such as ringing, tagging or photo-identification using natural markings.

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 ...

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.

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 ...
