At each recapture, lobsters size (CL) was measured.
The effects of sample size (recapture percentage), initial prevalence, sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic test, transmission rate between unvaccinated badgers, Vaccine Efficacy for Susceptibility (VES) and Vaccine Efficacy for Infectiousness (VEI), on study power were determined.
A capture-mark-recapture estimate of population size suggested that there were 57 individuals in the study area, which agrees well with field observations.
We used mark-recapture to estimate population size and additional data collected from automated underwater vehicles, baited remote underwater video systems and standard trapping to describe home range size and estimate densities.
Based on our results from the previous section, we can develop a capture-recapture estimator for the size of the scrapie-affected holding population.
Wing size increased with recapture distance from the release point on both recapture days.
Luiselli, L., Rugiero, L. & Capula, M. Are communal nesting counts as useful as mark recapture data for estimating population size in snakes?
Growth per year was determined by comparing the size at last recapture to the size at tagging, and dividing it by years at liberty, with fractions of years adjusted for the likelihood of a moult occurring.
Four (5.4%) of the 73 tagged Galapagos sharks were recaptured, yielding closed-system population size estimates ranging from 104 to 695 sharks (Table 3).
Mark and recapture estimates of total population sizes from Pachón (O1) and Yerbaniz (O2) caves were similar to our estimates, with averages of 8.5 × 103 individuals and broad 95% confidence intervals ranging from about 1.5 × 103 to 17.0 × 103 [ 7].
