The incorporation of auxiliary variables into capturerecapture models provides the biologist the opportunity to explore many biological hypotheses, and thus provides a powerful technique for extending the analysis of encounter history data. However, cause-and-eþ ect relationships cannot be gained without experimental manipulation of the system. That is, even though an auxiliary variable in a ca...

Introduction—Although the capturerecapture technique is increasingly employed in studies of human populations to correct for under-ascertainment in traditional epidemiological surveillance, it has rarely been used in injury research. Objectives—To estimate the completeness of oYcial data sources on traYc related injuries (TRIs) by using the capturerecapture technique and to calculate an ascerta...

The use of capture-recapture to estimate the residual faults in a software artifact has evolved as a promising method. However, the assumptions needed to make the estimates are not completely fulfilled in software development, leading to an underestimation of the residual fault content. Therefore, a method employing a filtering technique with an experience factor to improve the estimates of the...

Capture-recapture data are often collected when abundance estimation is of interest. In this manuscript we focus on abundance estimation of closed populations. In the presence of unobserved individual heterogeneity, specified on a continuous scale for the capture probabilities, the likelihood is not generally available in closed form, but expressible only as an analytically intractable integral...

Multistate capturerecapture models are a natural generalization of the usual one-site recapture models. Similarly, individuals are sampled on discrete occasions, at which they may be captured or not. However, contrary to the one-site case, the individuals can move within a ® nite set of states between occasions. The growing interest in spatial aspects of population dynamics presently contribute...

◆ THE CAPTURE-RECAPTURE ◆ ESTIMATE THE “capture-recapture method” or “Petersen’s method”, as it is sometimes referred to by fishery biologists, is a simple method of estimating the size of an animal or human population. A number of applications to the estimation of animal population size are given in Seber (1982). Lock and Moore in Gordon and Gordon (1992) note that the capturerecapture method ...

We ® rst consider the estimation of the ® nite rate of population increase or population growth rate, k i , using capturerecapture data from open populations. We review estimation and modelling of k i under three main approaches to modelling openpopulation data: the classic approach of Jolly (1965) and Seber (1965), the superpopulation approach of Crosbie & Manly (1985) and Schwarz & Arnason (1...

Conservation biology aims at assessing the status of a population, based on information which is often incomplete. Integrated population modelling based on state-space models appears to be a powerful and relevant way of combining into a single likelihood several types of information such as capturerecapture data and population surveys. In this paper, the authors describe the principles of integ...
