UNWARRANTED CONFIDENCE: A CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE POVERTY OF ANTI‐REALISM

open access: yesHistory and Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Poverty of Anti‐Realism: Critical Perspectives on Postmodernist Philosophy of History, edited by Tor Egil Førland and Branko Mitrović, celebrates the new dawn of historical realism, which it claims supersedes the erroneous and harmful anti‐realism.

Challenges in population monitoring: Bar‐tailed Godwits (Limosa lapponica) on the East Atlantic Flyway defy assumed population structure

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Estimating and monitoring migratory bird populations involves significant challenges, even in the most well‐studied and easily‐counted species, and can be further complicated by long‐held but unverified assumptions and by shifting distributions in changing flyway conditions.

Field‐based evidence of impaired sperm quality associated with conventional farming in two passerine birds

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The detrimental effects of conventional farming on bird biodiversity are increasingly documented. Despite this, the specific impacts of both organic and conventional farming practices on bird coloration and sperm quality in natural settings remain unexplored. This study aimed to determine whether these farming practices differentially affect body mass,

Persistence models for mark-recapture

Environmental and Ecological Statistics, 2008
The stable of models available for analyzing mark-recapture data (Otis et al. Wild Momogr 66:135, 1978) includes those having behavioral characteristics, time variation, heterogeneity, along with combinations of those characteristics. This paper proposes use of a series of models based on the persistence model of Ramsey and Usner (Biometrics 59:331–339,

Mark-recapture models

Advances in Applied Probability, 1984
The interpretation of mark-recapture data depends on a probabilistic model for the biological system. The assumptions of the general model must be verified against what is known about the particular system. This talk considers the application of markrecapture methods to the estimation of salmon smolt migrations from Babine Lake, British Columbia.

Simple mark-recapture

2002
With data from one survey only, we can’t estimate abundance without making strong assumptions about capture probability. In the case of plot surveys, we assume we know it, and with distance sampling methods (Chapter 7) we assume “capture” is certain on the line or point. Depending on the application, these assumptions may be quite reasonable; when they

Parsimonious Modelling of Capture-Mark-Recapture Studies

Biometrics, 1985
A general multinomial modelling approach is proposed for capture-mark- recapture data from an open animal population. Within this framework a number of plausible alternative assumptions are suggested for survival probabilities, ingress times, and capture probabilities.

Mark-Recapture Models for Line Transect Surveys

Biometrics, 1998
Summary: One of the key assumptions of conventional line transect (LT) theory is that all animals in the observer's path are detected. When this assumption fails, simultaneous survey by two independent observers can be used to estimate detection probabilities and abundance.

Mark–Recapture: Basic Models

2019
We consider two basic live-recapture models referred to as the CJS model (after Cormack–Jolly–Seber) that models the tagged data, and the JS model (after Jolly and Seber in Biometrika, 52:225–247, 1965), which also includes the untagged data. Likelihood methods as originally used are described, while Bayesian and random-effects methods have since been ...
