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

Age is not just a number: How incorrect ageing impacts close‐kin mark‐recapture estimates of population size [PDF]
Population size is a key parameter for the conservation of animal species. Close‐kin mark‐recapture (CKMR) relies on the observed frequency and type of kinship among individuals sampled from the population to estimate population size.

Abundance 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 ...

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

The use of sequential mark-release-recapture experiments to estimate population size, survival and dispersal of male mosquitoes of the Anopheles gambiae complex in Bana, a west African humid savannah village. [PDF]
Vector control is a major component of the malaria control strategy. The increasing spread of insecticide resistance has encouraged the development of new tools such as genetic control which use releases of modified male mosquitoes.

Mortality of snipe estimated from a mark and recapture study [PDF]
Nine hundred and ninety eight newly ringed Snipe, and thirteen Snipe ringed by other ringers have been captured at a roosting site at Bolton, Greater Manchester. The ringing and retrap data have been used in a MARKREC computer analysis to calculate the annual survival rate (62.5%) of the population sampled during the study.

Chew-cards can accurately index invasive rat densities in Mariana Island forests [PDF]
Rats (Rattus spp.) are likely established on 80–90% of the world’s islands and represent one of the most damaging and expensive biological invaders. Effective rat control tools exist but require accurate population density estimates or indices to inform ...
