Capture-recapture modelling of population dynamics

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research involves the use of statistics in studying the dynamics of animal populations and other ecological problems. The research is motivated by real problems encountered by ecologists. Much of the research involves capture-recapture experiments. In these experiments, animals are captured, tagged, released and then subsequently recaptured or resighted. The pattern of captures and recaptures/resightings enables the researcher to estimate survival rates, the number of animals present in the population and other population parameters.
