The house mouse has adapted well to the cereal crops of south-eastern Australia where
populations show aperiodic outbreaks over large areas. A 20-year population study has …

Developing a relationship between pest abundance and damage to crops is essential for the
calculation of economic injury levels (EIL) leading to informed management decisions. The …

The heterogeneity of catchability (HC) among the individuals encountered during a capture–
recapture study has long been regarded as a liability. However, heterogeneous capture …

Snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) undergo remarkable cycles and are the primary prey
base of Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis), a carnivore recently listed as threatened in the …

Spatially explicit capture–recapture (SECR) models are gaining popularity for estimating
densities of mammalian carnivores. They use spatially explicit encounter histories of …

1. The functional response of post-dispersal seed predators (house mouse, Mus musculus)
to absolute densities of southern beech seed (Nothofagus solandri var. cliffortioides) was …

Small mammals are important to the functioning of ecological communities with changes to
their abundances used to track impacts of environmental change. While capture–recapture …

We developed a capture-mark-recapture protocol for measuring the population density (D)
of ship rats (Rattus rattus) in forest. Either mesh cage traps or Elliott box traps were set at …

Quantifying abundance is often key to understanding ecological and evolutionary processes
in wild populations. Despite shortcomings in producing accurate abundance estimates …
