The use of photography to discriminate between individuals in a population using natural
markings or aberrations is increasingly being utilized to support field research on …

Conversion of tropical forests to agriculture affects vertebrate assemblages, but we do not
know how fast or to what extent these assemblages recover after field abandonment. We …

The most common method for identifying individual amphibians is toe-clip** (TC),
whereby captured individuals are marked by a unique combination of amputated phalanges …

Photographic capture-mark-recapture (CMR) permits individual recognition whilst avoiding
many of the concerns involved with marking animals. However, the construction of capture …

Recognition of individuals within an animal population is central to a range of estimates
about population structure and dynamics. However, traditional methods of distinguishing …

Photo-identification allows individual recognition of animal species based on natural marks,
being an alternative to other more stressful artificial tagging/marking techniques. An …

Toe clip** is widely used in studies of amphibian ecology and behavior, but its impact on
return rates and survival remains controversial. We evaluated the effect of toe clip** on …

Abstract Capture–mark–recapture (CMR) approaches are the backbone of many studies in
population ecology to gain insight on the life cycle, migration, habitat use, and demography …

Among amphibians, adults have traditionally been identified in capture-mark-recapture
studies using invasive marking techniques with associated ethical, cost and logistical …

Amphibians have been declining worldwide and the comprehension of the threats that they
face could be improved by using mark–recapture models to estimate vital rates of natural …
