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 ...

Home‐site fidelity and homing behavior of the big‐headed turtle Platysternon megacephalum
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Site fidelity refers to the restriction of dispersal distance of an animal and its tendency to return to a stationary site. To our knowledge, the homing ability of freshwater turtles and their fidelity is reportedly very low in Asia.
