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

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.

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

Joint estimation of growth and survival from mark-recapture data to improve estimates of senescence in wild populations. [PDF]
Ecology, 2020 Understanding age-dependent patterns of survival is fundamental to predicting population dynamics, understanding selective pressures, and estimating rates of senescence.

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 ...

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.

Validation of close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) methods for estimating population abundance
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Knowing how many individuals there are in a population is a fundamental problem in the management and conservation of freshwater and marine fish. We compare abundance estimates (census size, Nc) in seven brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis populations ...

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 ...

Challenges of implementing Mark-recapture studies on poorly marked gregarious delphinids. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Population parameters of poorly marked gregarious species are difficult to estimate. This is the case for common dolphins (Delphinus sp.), a genus known for its lack of distinctive marks resulting in a low mark ratio.
