Trap‐dependence in capture–recapture studies: empirical evidence in vertebrates and biological meaning

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Capture–recapture (CR) models have been used for decades to estimate population size and demographic rates in natural populations from the monitoring of individuals. One of the most frequent deviations from assumptions required in CR studies is the immediate trap‐dependence that corresponds to the correlation between capture events. We review empirical

open access: yesEcosphere
Seasonal changes in plant–animal interactions, such as seed dispersal and predation, remain poorly understood in temperate ecosystems. We examined seed removal of three woody species (Acer saccharum, Tsuga canadensis, and Lonicera spp.) by small mammals (
