Ecological systems can often be characterised by changes among a finite set of underlying
states pertaining to individuals, populations, communities or entire ecosystems through time …

Genetic data are often used to assess 'population connectivity'because it is difficult to
measure dispersal directly at large spatial scales. Genetic connectivity, however, depends …

Abstract Model building and data analysis in the biological sciences somewhat presupposes
that the person has some advanced education in the quantitative sciences, and statistics in …

MARK provides parameter estimates from marked animals when they are re-encountered at
a later time as dead recoveries, or live recaptures or re-sightings. The time intervals between …

In any statistical analysis, assessing the goodness of fit of a model to the data is crucial to
avoid drawing incorrect conclusions. U‐CARE is a computer application that deals with the …

Environmental change has altered the phenology, morphological traits and population
dynamics of many species,. However, the links underlying these joint responses remain …

Statistical inference for capture–recapture studies of open animal populations typically relies
on the assumption that all emigration from the studied population is permanent. However …

Abstract Multievent models (Pradel 2005, 2008) handle state uncertainty, and they therefore
cover a range of situations like hidden capture heterogeneity and sex determination from …

Capture–recapture models were originally developed to account for encounter probabilities
that are less than 1 in free-ranging animal populations. Nowadays, these models can deal …

Our understanding of migratory birds' year‐round ecology and evolution remains patchy
despite recent fundamental advances. Periodic reviews focus future research and inform …
