Correction: Trap Configuration and Spacing Influences Parameter Estimates in Spatial Capture-Recapture Models
An increasing number of studies employ spatial capture-recapture models to estimate population size, but there has been limited research on how different spatial sampling designs and trap configurations influence parameter estimators. Spatial capture-recapture models provide an advantage over non-spatial models by explicitly accounting for heterogeneous detection probabilities among individuals...
متن کاملConstant-parameter capture-recapture models.
Jolly (1982, Biometrics 38, 301-321) presented modifications of the Jolly-Seber model for capture-recapture data, which assume constant survival and/or capture rates. Where appropriate, because of the reduced number of parameters, these models lead to more efficient estimators than the Jolly-Seber model. The tests to compare models given by Jolly do not make complete use of the data, and we pre...
متن کاملHow Does Spatial Study Design Influence Density Estimates from Spatial Capture-Recapture Models?
When estimating population density from data collected on non-invasive detector arrays, recently developed spatial capture-recapture (SCR) models present an advance over non-spatial models by accounting for individual movement. While these models should be more robust to changes in trapping designs, they have not been well tested. Here we investigate how the spatial arrangement and size of the ...
متن کاملModeling Trap-Awareness and Related Phenomena in Capture-Recapture Studies
Trap-awareness and related phenomena whereby successive capture events are not independent is a feature of the majority of capture-recapture studies. This phenomenon was up to now difficult to incorporate in open population models and most authors have chosen to neglect it although this may have damaging consequences. Focusing on the situation where animals exhibit a trap response at the occasi...
متن کاملOn identifiability in capture-recapture models.
We study the issue of identifiability of mixture models in the context of capture-recapture abundance estimation for closed populations. Such models are used to take account of individual heterogeneity in capture probabilities, but their validity was recently questioned by Link (2003, Biometrics 59, 1123-1130) on the basis of their nonidentifiability. We give a general criterion for identifiabi...
