Summary: The use of high-speed videos (HSV) improves resighting rates and survival rate estimations for dragonfly species, compared to conventional eye observations. Including HSV in studies increased resights and survival probability estimates, enhancing the credibility intervals for these demographic parameters in dragonfly species. This method shows potential for expanding research possibilities on traditionally difficult-to-monitor species, such as insects and birds.

Summary: Using genetic mark recapture analyses, the total abundance of the Eastern Canada-West Greenland bowhead whale population was estimated to be 5173 individuals from 2012 to 2021. This suggests that the population may be plateauing well below the pre-commercial whaling carrying capacity estimate. The population estimate is important for updating conservation efforts.

Summary: Batch marking is a common and useful approach in capture-recapture studies when individual marks cannot be applied. However, fitting traditional models to batch marked data can be computationally challenging. This paper proposes a latent multinomial model and demonstrates its efficacy through simulation studies.

Summary: The somatic growth of individuals is crucial in the life history of a species and for assessing populations. This study evaluates seven techniques for estimating growth parameters using mark-recapture tagging data and finds that Bayesian implementations of Fabens and Francis methods are the most reliable in simulated data with errors. When applied to observed data of 14 elasmobranch stocks, only BFa gives biologically plausible results. BFa is a reliable alternative to conventional length-at-age methods, especially in data-limited situations for elasmobranchs.

Summary: Long-term capture-mark-recapture data can provide valuable information on individual movements and social structures in populations. The CMRnet package introduced in this study generates social and movement networks from spatially explicit capture-mark-recapture data, with important applications in wildlife management and conservation.

Summary: Estimation methods that combine different types of data can improve accuracy and precision of parameter estimates and predictions. Integrating mark-recapture data with passive acoustic detections improves estimates of population size. Acoustic data collection could be a cost-efficient addition to traditional mark-recapture population estimation.

Summary: Wild bees play a crucial role in various ecosystems, but some species are experiencing population decline. The current methods used to assess the population of wild bees have limitations and uncertainties. This study reviews mark-recapture methods and presents a case study comparing them to traditional sampling methods in a wild bee community. The results show that mark-recapture methods are correlated with abundance estimates, providing a feasible way to monitor selected species and evaluate other sampling methods.

Summary: This paper compares the statistical performance of common closed population mark-recapture estimators through simulation, finding that a new bias-adjusted version of the Schumacher-Eschmeyer estimator outperforms the original estimator at small sample sizes. The authors propose minimum sample sizes to achieve approximately unbiased estimates, providing guidance for practitioners using these estimators for simple closed population mark-recapture data.

Summary: Continuous predictors of survival pose challenges in the analysis of marked individual data. Two existing approaches, joint modeling and trinomial model, have their own advantages and limitations. However, this study points out the issue of non-identifiability and imprecision in the trinomial model when the predictor has no or small effect on survival probability.

Summary: This study evaluates the suitability of close-kin mark-recapture (CKMR) as a demographic modelling tool and provides important ecological parameters for the critically endangered blue skate in the Celtic Sea. The study also identifies a potential critical habitat that may require protection.

Summary: Incorporating multiple samples for estimation is increasingly popular, and this paper examines a probabilistic matching technique to link non-probability and probability samples. Using 2017 data, the study shows that combining non-probability data with a probability sample is useful for estimating fish catch, and record linkage is an effective way to link the data.

Summary: Successful conservation and management of protected wildlife populations rely on reliable population abundance data. Photographic mark-recapture (PMR) provides a cost-effective and minimally invasive method to study population dynamics in species with distinct markings. The study tested the feasibility and application of PMR using Hotspotter software to identify Nicrophorus spp. based on elytral spot patterns, demonstrating its utility in estimating population abundance.

Summary: This article introduces a new method of estimating accepted species diversity by adapting mark-recapture methods to comparisons of taxonomic databases. The study finds that independent databases can be correlated, and the time course of estimates comparing them can help understand the effect of correlation. Testing shows that this method has a high level of accuracy in estimating the completeness of terrestrial gastropod species.

Summary: The venom of the globally invasive Argentine ant has lethal effects on some amphibian species in the invaded range. This study investigates the effects of the toxin on cohabiting amphibians in the ant's native range to test the novel weapons hypothesis. The results show that the venom affects all amphibian species, regardless of their myrmecophagy, highlighting the potential impact of the Argentine ant on threatened amphibian conservation.

Summary: Intersexual morphological differences within a species occur in many traits, including body size and shape. Various processes such as population structure, phenotypic plasticity, and natural or sexual selection have been proposed as causes of geographic variability in morphology. In Limnomedusa macroglossa from Uruguay, sexual dimorphism in body size was found, possibly due to higher growth rates and late sexual maturity in females.
