A critical assessment of estimating census population size from genetic population size (or vice versa) in three fishes
Technological and methodological advances have facilitated the use of genetic data to infer census population size (Nc) in natural populations, particularly where traditional mark-and-recapture is challenging. The effective number of breeders (Nb) describes how many adults effectively contribute to a cohort and is often correlated with Nc. Predicting Nc from Nb or vice versa in species with ove...
متن کاملCapwire: a R package for estimating population census size from non-invasive genetic sampling.
Non-invasive genetic sampling is an increasingly popular approach for investigating the demographics of natural populations. This has also become a useful tool for managers and conservation biologists, especially for those species for which traditional mark-recapture studies are not practical. However, the consequence of collecting DNA indirectly is that an individual may be sampled multiple ti...
متن کاملEstimating Population Size
All monitoring programs are designed to detect change in population size. Some require, in addition, estimates of population size itself. Two approaches to making such estimates, using various m ark-recapture methods or removal sampling, are described in this chapter. Whatever the method, estimation of population size requires extensive data collection and analysis and is labor-intensive and ti...
متن کاملEstimating population size in emergencies.
One of the first challenges in a natural disaster or humanitarian emergency is to obtain accurate estimates of affected populations (1). In the aftermath of rapid-onset disasters such as the recent tsunami disaster in south Asia, there is frequently an absence of adequate baseline data against which to measure the impact of the disaster. Available population data vary widely in quality, and the...
متن کاملEstimating population size with two- and three-stage sampling designs.
Reliable estimates of population size are important for developing and monitoring health programs in at-risk populations. Laska, Meisner, and Siegel (Biometrics 1988;44:461-72) developed an unbiased estimator for the size of a population at a single venue based on a single sample. Because many populations of interest are not contained within a single venue, this article generalizes the Laska, M...
