This study introduces new methods for estimating population size using capture-recapture models with time-varying capture probabilities. The findings offer improved accuracy for wildlife population estimation.

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Wildlife Biology
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • Capture-recapture models are crucial for estimating wildlife population sizes.
  • Standard models often assume constant capture probabilities, which may not reflect reality.
  • Capture probabilities can be influenced by factors like time and animal behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate inference procedures for capture-recapture models with time- and behavior-dependent capture probabilities.
  • To compare the performance of different population size estimators under various conditions.
  • To provide a robust method for variance estimation and confidence interval construction.

Main Methods:

  • Developed two inference procedures: maximum likelihood (unconditional and conditional) and optimal estimating functions.

  • Assumed a constant relationship between recapture and initial capture probabilities.
  • Utilized the bootstrap method for variance estimation and confidence intervals.

    • Main Results:

    • Population size estimators from both methods are asymptotically equivalent for large populations.
    • Discussed the performance and merits of estimators for finite populations.
    • Demonstrated the application using a deer mouse population example.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed methods offer advancements in estimating population sizes when capture probabilities vary.
    • The bootstrap method provides a reliable approach for constructing confidence intervals.
    • These techniques enhance ecological and wildlife management strategies.
