Marked Individuals in the Study of Bird Populations (Advances in Life Sciences) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Many issues in population biology require an appropriate understanding of demographic patterns. The most efficient approaches rely on individually marked animals followed over an extended period of time and the implementation of various sampling schemes. With bird populations, the most common schemes are radio-tracking, live recaptures and dead recoveries, each with its characteristic time and space scales. Relevant statistical methodology differs from that for human populations because sampling is, on the whole, incomplete. The purpose of this book is to give a comprehensive review of specific methods, models and software for analyzing data from individually marked animals. It also provides comprehensive applications for the study of bird populations, and access to advances demonstrating how to mix various types of information and how to analyze dispersal.
