| | Title | Developing methods to estimate parameters associated with animal population |
| | dynamics |
| | Project Description | This project involves research on field and statistical methods for estimating parameters relevant |
| | to animal population dynamics including development of capture-recapture models to estimate |
| | population size, population rate of increase, movement rate, survival rate, transition probabilities |
| | among different individual states or conditions, total number of transiets in a population, probability |
| | that an animal is a temporary emigrant, number of animals passing through a migration stopover |
| | location, etc. Combination studies involving both capture-recapture data and data from band |
| | recoveries, ancillary resightings, and radio-telemetry permit estimation of additinal parameters |
| | relating to fidelity and both permanent and temporary emigration. In addition, methods will be |
| | developed to estimate abundance, density, and rate of population increase based on animal |
| | counts. |
