We compare and contrast two methods for fitting probability models to data which arise when animals are marked in batches, without individual identification, and live in several different sites or states. The methods are suitable for populations[...]

We have been studying population biology of Ross's Geese south of Queen Maud Gulf (QMG) in Canada's central arctic from 1989 to 2008. Many Ross's Geese there nest in a small number of discrete colonies which form the QMG metapopulation. In addit[...]

Broad-scale bird-ringing programs are a core component of national and international avian monitoring and research efforts. Despite rich spatial structure in data from these programs, little attention has been paid to spatial modeling of demogra[...]

The release of animals to reestablish an extirpated population is a decision problem that is often attended by considerable uncertainty about the probability of success. Annual releases of captive-reared juvenile Whooping Cranes (Grus americana)[...]

Design is the most influential element in the pathway to statistical inference. Designs for capture-mark-recapture (CMR) studies have become more diverse and complex during the past 50 years. I review the history of CMR designs developed for dis[...]

Data augmentation (DA) is a flexible tool for analyzing closed and open population models of capture-recapture data, especially models which include sources of hetereogeneity among individuals. The essential concept underlying DA, as we use the [...]

The work of this paper is motivated by a study of Great Cormorants, Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis, in Denmark. The dataset is complex, involving birds in different states living in and moving between neighbouring colonies. As a consequence, the s[...]

Integrated population modelling techniques combine information from population surveys and independent demographic studies to estimate population size, survival and productivity rates simultaneously. We review the development of the approach, an[...]

Heterogeneity is a pervasive problem for analyses in biology and related fields in which it is of interest to get information unbiased by a change in the composition of the population. I show here how a reformulation of the Price equation leads [...]

Understanding population dynamics is of great interest in many different contexts. Traditionally, population dynamics have often been considered in terms of individual-based demographic parameters (e. g., abundance, survival, and reproductive ra[...]

Hierarchical models include random effects or latent state variables. This class of models includes state-space models for population dynamics, which incorporate process and sampling variation, and models with random individual or year effects i[...]

From NOREMARK to MARK: software for estimating demographic parameters using mark-resight methodology
Brett T. McClintock, Auteur ;
Gary C. White, Auteur
Mark-resight methods can be a less expensive and less invasive alternative to traditional mark-recapture for estimating abundance and related demographic parameters. This is because only a single marking event is required, and subsequent sightin[...]

Breeding success in cliff-nesting seabirds has until now been estimated through repeated nest checks by field workers during the breeding season. The use of automatic cameras offers a method for collecting mark-recapture data that can be modelle[...]

Models of infectious disease dynamics focus on describing the temporal and spatial variations in disease prevalence, and on understanding the factors that affect how many cases will occur in each time period and which individuals are likely to b[...]

Estimation of cetacean abundance or density using visual methods can be cost-ineffective under many scenarios. Methods based on acoustic data have recently been proposed as an alternative, and could potentially be more effective for visually elu[...]

The study of dispersal or recruitment in long-lived birds using capture-recapture methods is challenging because temporary emigration is often a source of heterogeneity in detection probabilities. To deal with this problem, we introduced unobser[...]

Multi-state mark-recapture models are structurally complex models, and in particular the complexity increases when there are unobservable states. Until recently, determining whether or not such models were parameter redundant was only possible n[...]

We consider the first steps towards implementing capture-recapture mixed models (CR2Ms) in program E-SURGE. The main issue when estimating the parameters of mixed models is that integrals associated with the random effects distributions need to [...]

One challenge an analyst often encounters when dealing with complex mark-recapture models is how to limit the number of a priori models. While all possible combinations of model structures on the different parameters (e.g., phi, p) can be consid[...]

Most capture-recapture studies are inherently spatial in nature, with capture probabilities depending on the location of traps relative to animals. The spatial component of the studies has until recently, however, not been incorporated in statis[...]
