The carbon dioxide-baited trap is the most common and effective method for sampling vector life-stage Amblyomma americanum (L.) (Acari: Ixodidae), although confounding environmental variables are rarely considered. A mark-recapture experiment was designed to compare recapture proportions of A. americanum nymphs and adults between two habitat types: old field and oak-hickory forest. Powdered flu...

With the development of multimedia technology and digital devices, it is very simple and easier to recapture a high quality images from LCD screens. In authentication, the use of such recaptured images can be very dangerous. So, it is very important to recognize the recaptured images in order to increase authenticity. Image recapture detection (IRD) is to distinguish realscene images from the r...

BACKGROUND Capture-recapture methods are increasingly being used to improve surveillance for a number of diseases. However, concerns persist regarding the validity of estimates obtained. METHOD Capture-recapture methods were applied to estimate the ability of four separate data sources on occupational fatalities to predict the 237 deaths ('gold standard') we determined from a special in-depth...

AIM estimate the number of irregular economic immigrants in Mallorca. DESIGN We used the capture-recapture method, an indirect method based on contrasts of data from two or more sources. Data were obtained from the Delegación de Gobierno (police and immigration authority), Comisiones Obreras (labor union), and institutions that provide health-related services to immigrants. Individuals were i...

With advances in image display technology, recapturing good-quality images from highfidelity artificial scenery on a LCD screen becomes possible. Forgers can recapture the artificially generated scenery and use the recaptured image to fool image forensic system. Image recapture detection is to distinguish real-scene images from the recaptured ones. An image recapture detection method based on m...

Three potentially important aspects of mark-release-recapture experimentation were addressed: 1) source of mosquitoes for release, 2) time of release, and 3) weather during recapture. Culex tarsalis Coquillett mosquitoes collected as adult host-seeking females from dry ice-baited traps (CO2 traps) operated within the study area (local) were recaptured more frequently than females collected from...

A 4exible method for modelling capture–recapture data with continuous covariates that describe heterogeneous catchability is developed. The well established generalized additive modelling framework is used. An estimator of population size is developed using this method. The performance of the method is demonstrated using neural tube defect capture–recapture data from the Netherlands, with the b...

Ecologists increasingly rely on Bayesian methods to fit capture–recapture models. Capture–recapture models are used estimate abundance while accounting for imperfect detectability in individual-level data. A variety of implementations exist such models, including integrated likelihood, parameter-expanded data augmentation, and combinations those. with latent random effects can be computationall...

DENSITY: software for analysing capture–recapture data from passive detector arrays.— A general computer–intensive method is described for fitting spatial detection functions to capture–recapture data from arrays of passive detectors such as live traps and mist nets. The method is used to estimate the population density of 10 species of breeding birds sampled by mist–netting in deciduous forest...
