The use of camera traps to study the hooded skunk Mephitismacroura (Carnivora: Mephitidae) abundance

open access: yesCaldasia, 2023
Skunks are important for the ecosystems as consumers of fruits, seeds, and insects. The hooded skunk (Mephitis macroura) is a medium-sized mammal common in North America, but its abundance is poorly known throughout its range.

ipsecr: An R package for awkward spatial capture–recapture data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Some capture–recapture models for population estimation cannot easily be fitted by the usual methods (maximum likelihood and Markov‐chain Monte Carlo).

Integrating telemetry data at several scales with spatial capture–recapture to improve density estimates

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Accurate population estimates are essential for monitoring and managing wildlife populations. Mark–recapture sampling methods have regularly been used to estimate population parameters for rare and cryptic species, including the federally listed Mojave ...

A spatial capture-recapture model for territorial species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Advances in field techniques have lead to an increase in spatially-referenced capture-recapture data to estimate a species' population size as well as other demographic parameters and patterns of space usage.

Trace-contrast models for capture-recapture without capture histories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This work was funded by the Royal Society of New Zealand through Marsden Grant 14-UOA-155. Ben Stevenson was supported by EPSRC/NERC Grant EP/1000917/1.Capture-recapture studies increasingly rely upon natural tags that allow animals to be identified by ...

A Comparison of Grizzly Bear Demographic Parameters Estimated from Non-Spatial and Spatial Open Population Capture-Recapture Models.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Capture-recapture studies are frequently used to monitor the status and trends of wildlife populations. Detection histories from individual animals are used to estimate probability of detection and abundance or density.

Study design and mark-recapture estimates of dispersal: A case study with the endangered damselfly Coenagrion mercuriale [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Accurate data on dispersal ability are vital to the understanding of how species are affected by fragmented landscapes. However, three factors may limit the ability of field studies to detect a representative sample of dispersal events: (1) the number of

A comparison of four different methods to estimate population size of Alpine marmot (Marmota marmota) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Obtaining reliable information on animal abundance in mountainous landscapes is challenging. Highly heterogeneous habitats tend to reduce detection probabilities, and the three-dimensional, rugged nature of the terrain poses severe limits to the ...
