Capture‐recapture methods are frequently employed to estimate abundance of cetaceans
using photographic techniques and a variety of statistical models. However, there are many …

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

Every day, biologists in parkas, raincoats, and rubber boots go into the field to capture and
mark a variety of animal species. Back in the office, statisticians create analytical models for …

Risk of human exposure to vector-borne zoonotic pathogens is a function of the abundance
and infection prevalence of vectors. We assessed the determinants of Lyme-disease risk …

Techniques to improve estimation of animal population size and mortality from tagging
studies have received substantial attention from terrestrial biologists and statisticians during …

We report the development and application of a method using domestic dogs (Canis
familiaris Linnaeus, 1758) to systematically locate wildlife scat over large remote areas …

Emerging zoonotic pathogens are a constant threat to human health throughout the world.
Control strategies to protect public health regularly fail, due in part to the tendency to focus …

In response to mast production of acorns, populations of small mammals, such as the white‐
footed mouse and eastern chipmunk, greatly increase and, in turn, initiate cascades of direct …

We first consider the estimation of the finite rate of population increase or population growth
rate, ui, using capture-recapture data from open populations. We review estimation and …

I review the use of auxiliary variables in capture-recapture models for estimation of
demographic parameters (eg capture probability, population size, survival probability, and …
