Animal Abundance: Review III Carl J. Schwarz and George AF Seber Abstract. The literature …

With the advance of methods for estimating species distribution models has come an interest
in how to best combine datasets to improve estimates of species distributions. This has …

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 …

Statistical inference for capture–recapture studies of open animal populations typically relies
on the assumption that all emigration from the studied population is permanent. However …

Techniques for estimation of absolute abundance of wildlife populations have received a lot
of attention in recent years. The statistical research has been focused on intensive small …

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

Species occurrence and its dynamic components, extinction and colonization probabilities,
are focal quantities in biogeography and metapopulation biology, and for species …

Summary Agresti (1994, Biometrics 50, 494–500) and Norris and Pollock (1996a, Biometrics
52, 639–649) suggested using methods of finite mixtures to partition the animals in a closed …

Although wide‐ranging, elusive, large carnivore species, such as the tiger, are of scientific
and conservation interest, rigorous inferences about their population dynamics are scarce …
