Influence of study design and movement behavior on performance of open population spatial Cormack-Jolly-Seber models: application to acoustic telemetry technology
Spatial Cormack-Jolly-Seber (CJS) models are appealing for analyzing mark-recapture data from electronic tagging studies with fixed receiver arrays...

Apparent survival and detection probability of PIT-tagged small-bodied stream fishes using multi-pass wand antenna surveys
Passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags are used widely to track the dispersal and model survival rates of animals. However, few studies have used...

Relationship between wintering site and survival in a migratory waterbird using different migration routes
When wintering at different sites, individuals from the same breeding population can experience different conditions, with costs and benefits that...

Timing of birth determines lifetime survival in a Neotropical marsupial
Seasonal breeding is a common feature in the life history of marsupials and has been correlated with temperature, resource availability, and...

Neckband loss and its effect on apparent survival estimates in Greylag Geese (Anser anser): variation with season, sex and age
Mark-recapture studies enable us to estimate population parameters such as survival, if marks do not impact survival and if marks are not lost. Mark...

Similar regional-scale survival of tropical and southern temperate birds from the New World
The general assumption that the survival patterns of tropical and southern temperate birds are similar lacks empirical data from higher latitudes....

Spatial variation in demographic processes and the potential role of hybridization for the future
ContextSpatial variation in life history traits plays a crucial role in sha** the current and future dynamics of populations, particularly in...

Preserving identity in capture–mark–recapture studies: increasing the accuracy of minimum number alive (MNA) estimates by incorporating inter-census trap** efficiency variation
Quantifying abundance is often key to understanding ecological and evolutionary processes in wild populations. Despite shortcomings in producing...

Comparing maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods for fitting hidden Markov models to multi-state capture-recapture data of invasive carp in the Illinois River
BackgroundHidden Markov Models (HMMs) are often used to model multi-state capture-recapture data in ecology. However, a variety of HMM modeling...

Estimating population parameters of African elephants: a photographic mark-recapture application in a South African protected area
Accurate estimates of demographic parameters are instrumental in effective management of animal populations. For species with individually...

Patterns of Occupancy and Density of the Small Felids of Tropical America
The Neotropical realm harbors 9–14 species of small- and medium-sized felids, depending on taxonomic schemes. Some of these species are poorly known,...

An unknown component of a well-known population: socio-demographic parameters of Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) at the western reaches of the Pearl River Delta region
Quantifying demographic parameters and patterns of social dynamics is fundamental to understanding the population ecology of group-living animals and...

Long-term field study reveals that warmer summers lead to larger and longer-lived females only in northern populations of Natterer’s bats
Animals often respond to climate change with changes in morphology, e.g., shrinking body size with increasing temperatures, as expected by Bergmann’s...

Seasonal survival in a non-hibernating Mediterranean garden dormouse population
The seasonal survival pattern of a garden dormouse Eliomys quercinus population was studied in a Mediterranean agricultural field area from East...

Effects of volitional emigration timing and smolt size on survival and age-at-return in a Pacific salmon hatchery population
Many Pacific salmon populations are returning from sea at younger ages and smaller sizes. Hatchery culture, management practices, and environmental...

Apparent survival, reproduction, and population growth estimation of a Kentish plover population in the Canary Islands
The increase of the tourism and urbanization of vast areas of dunes and beaches has been accompanied by an increase in the level of disturbances to...

Effect of matching uncertainty on population parameter estimation in mark-recapture analysis of photo-identification data
Quantifying and dealing with uncertainty are key aspects of ecological studies. Population parameter estimation from mark-recapture analyses of...

Clinging to the top: natal dispersal tracks climate gradient in a trailing-edge population of a migratory songbird
PurposeTrailing-edge populations at the low-latitude, receding edge of a shifting range face high extinction risk from climate change unless they are...

Capture-Recapture: Frequentist Methods
Capture–recapture methods for both open and closed populations have developed extensively in recent years, especially with the development of...

Experimental management and mark-release-recapture methods fill critical knowledge gaps for an at-risk butterfly
AbstractUnderstanding how management actions affect target species is crucial for designing conservation strategies that meet recovery goals. In the...
