Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future

Ecography, EarlyView.
Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...

Mark-release-recapture experiment in Burkina Faso demonstrates reduced fitness and dispersal of genetically-modified sterile malaria mosquitoes

Nature Communications, 2022
Release of genetically-modified sterile mosquitoes is a potential method of malaria control but has yet to be tested in the field. Here, the authors perform a mark-release-recapture experiment and show that genetically-modified mosquitoes have reduced ...

More information from the mark and recapture of fish at Kosi Bay, South Africa

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2002
A considerable amount of work has been carried out on the mark and recapture of fish at Kosi bay (Kyle 1986). This resulted in the publication of data (Kyle & Robertson 1997) suggesting fairly low rates of exploitation by man but warning that further ...

Mastery Exams: Giving Students a Second Opportunity to Demonstrate Understanding

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Various stressors can affect student exam performance, and a single weak result may not reflect true understanding. To address this, a “Mastery” exam policy was introduced in the 2021–2022 academic year. If a student scores below 80% on a didactic or pre‐clinical laboratory exam worth at least 10% of their final course grade, they can choose ...

Estimating demographic parameters using a combination of known-fate and open N-mixture models

, 2015
1. Accurate estimates of demographic parameters are required to infer appropriate ecological relationships and inform management actions. Recently developed N-mixture models use count data from unmarked individuals to estimate demographic parameters, but

Construction and performance of a novel capture-mark-release moth trap [PDF]

, 2017
Mark-recapture studies can provide important information about moth movement as well as habitat preference across a landscape, but to date, such studies tend to be species-specific or require labor-intensive methodologies.

Age‐specific survival of reintroduced swift fox in Badlands National Park and surrounding lands

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016
In 2003, a reintroduction program was initiated at Badlands National Park (BNP), South Dakota, USA, with swift foxes (Vulpes velox) translocated from Colorado and Wyoming, USA, as part of a restoration effort to recover declining swift fox populations ...

Evaluation of Panoramic Acquisition Errors by Predoctoral Dental Students

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Panoramic radiography is commonly used in the management of dental‐alveolar pathology. Novice clinicians are prone to technical errors that diminish the diagnostic quality of radiographs. The objective of this study was to analyze technical errors made during panoramic exposures by third‐year (D3) dental students in order to enhance
