Synchronous variation describes the pattern that occurs when variables, such as population size, from several separate populations increase or decrease together. It is common in animal populations and is relevant when studying species of conservation interest because synchrony prevents population rescue. We used 23 years of mark-recapture data to test for the presence of synchronous variation i...

good one. Of the vast quantities of medical literature published yearly a large proportion is devoid of solidity. Without hesitation we can say Dr. Saundby's book is both solid and good. Of the three sections into which the work is divided, the first on General Pathology contains chapters on Albuminuria, the Pathology of Dropsy, Cardio-vascular Changes, the Pathology of Uraemia, and some other ...

The original Jolly-Seber (JS) model (Jolly, 1965; Seber, 1965) was primarily interested in estimating abundance. Since then, the focus of many mark-recapture experiments changed to estimating survival rates (but not abundance) using the Cormack-Jolly-Seber (CJS)models (Cormack, 1964; Jolly, 1965; Seber, 1965)particularlywith the publication of Lebreton et al. (1992). In previous chapters concer...
