Occurrence, Second Edition, provides a synthesis of model-based approaches for analyzing …

MARK provides parameter estimates from marked animals when they are re-encountered at
a later time as dead recoveries, or live recaptures or re-sightings. The time intervals between …

Estimating density is a fundamental objective of many animal population studies. Application
of methods for estimating population size from ostensibly closed populations is widespread …

Photographic mark–recapture is a cost‐effective, non‐invasive way to study populations.
However, to efficiently apply photographic mark–recapture to large populations, computer …

Closed‐population capture–recapture methods have been used extensively in animal
ecology, both by themselves and within the context of Pollock's robust design and multistate …

In the early 1990s, biologists began experimenting with camera traps to estimate the
abundance of tigers Panthera tigra in the Nagarahole National Park (Karanth 1995) …

Estimating variation in demographic rates, such as survival and fecundity, is important for
testing life‐history theory and identifying conservation and management goals. 2. We used …

Temporary emigration was identified some time ago as causing potential problems in
