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

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.

Estimating Survival, Growth, and Morphometric Relationships of Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) in North Carolina Using Mark–Recapture and Bayesian Approaches [PDF]
AnimalsSeveral of the North Carolina blue crab’s (Callinectes sapidus) life history parameters such as growth rate, natural mortality, and length–weight relationships would benefit from being updated or localized. To this end, we designed a mark–recapture study

A Simple, Inexpensive Method for Mark-Recapture of Ixodid Ticks [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2020 Abstract 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 pencil that allows for a variety of questions to be answered. For measuring

Assessing the suitability of a one‐time sampling event for close‐kin mark‐recapture: A caribou case study [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAbundance estimation is frequently an objective of conservation and monitoring initiatives for threatened and other managed populations. While abundance estimation via capture–mark–recapture or spatially explicit capture–recapture is now common, such ...

Estimating Abundance of Siberian Roe Deer Using Fecal-DNA Capture-Mark-Recapture in Northeast China [PDF]
Animals, 2020 It is necessary to estimate the population abundance of deer for managing their populations. However, most estimates are from high-density populations inhabiting the forests of North America or Europe; there is currently a lack of necessary knowledge ...

Reliability of trans‐generational genetic mark–recapture (tGMR) for enumerating Pacific salmon [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsAs Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) decline across much of their range, it is imperative to further develop minimally invasive tools to quantify population abundance.

A Mark-Recapture Approach to Estimating Item Pool Compromise [PDF]
Applied Psychological MeasurementTesting organizations routinely investigate if secure exam material has been compromised and is consequently invalid for scoring and inclusion on future assessments. Beyond identifying individual compromised items, knowing the degree to which a form is compromised can inform decisions on whether the form can no longer be administered or when an item ...
