On the Use of the Robust Design with Transient Capture-Recapture Models

The main methods used to estimate population size using capture–recapture for both closed and open populations are described, including the Peterson–Lincoln estimator, the Schabel census, Bailey’s triple catch, the Jolly–Seber stochastic method, and Cormack’s log-linear method. The robust design approach is described. R code listings for commonly used packages are presented. The assumptions common to capture–recapture methods are reviewed, and tests for assumptions such as equal catchability described. The use of programs to select model assumptions are described. The main methods for marking different animal groups are described, together with the use of natural marks and parasites and DNA. Marking methods include paint marks, dyes, tagging, protein marking, DNA, natural marks, tattooing, and mutilation. Methods for handling and release are described.

Abstract The estimation of dispersal and movement is important to evolutionary and population ecologists, as well as to wildlife managers. We review statistical methodology available to estimate movement probabilities. We begin with cases where individual birds can be marked and their movements estimated with the use of multisite capture-recapture methods. Movements can be monitored either directly, using telemetry, or by accounting for detection probability when conventional marks are used. When one or more sites are unobservable, telemetry, band recoveries, incidental observations, a closed- or open-population robust design, or partial determinism in movements can be used to estimate movement. When individuals cannot be marked, presence-absence data can be used to model changes in occupancy over time, providing indirect inferences about movement. Where abundance estimates over time are available for multiple sites, potential coupling of their dynamics can be investigated using linear cross-correlation or nonlinear dynamic tools. Sobre la Estimación de la Dispersión y el Movimiento de las Aves Resumen. La estimación de la dispersión y el movimiento es importante para los ecó logos evolutivos y de poblaciones, así como también para los encargados del manejo de vida silvestre. Revisamos la metodología estadística disponible para estimar probabilidades de movimiento. Empezamos con casos donde aves individuales pueden ser marcadas y sus movimientos estimados con el uso de métodos de captura-repactura para múltiples sitios. Los movimientos pueden ser monitoreados ya sea directamente, usando telemetría o teniendo en cuenta las probabilidades de detección cuando se usan marcas convencionales. Cuando uno o más sitios no pueden ser observados, se puede estimar el movimiento usando telemetría, recuperación de anillos, observaciones circunstanciales, un diseño poblacional robusto cerrado o abierto, o determinismo parcial de los movimientos. Cuando los individuos no pueden ser marcados, se pueden usar datos de presencia-ausencia para modelar los cambios en el tiempo de la ocupación, brindando inferencias indirectas sobre los movimientos. Cuando las estimaciones de abundancia a lo largo del tiempo están disponibles para varios sitios, se puede investigar la interrelación potencial de sus dinámicas usando correlaciones cruzadas lineales o herramientas para dinámica no lineal.
