Handbook Of Capturerecapture Analysis,Used

Every Day, Biologists In Parkas, Raincoats, And Rubber Boots Go Into The Field To Capture And Mark A Variety Of Animal Species. Back In The Office, Statisticians Create Analytical Models For The Field Biologists' Data. But Many Times, Representatives Of The Two Professions Do Not Fully Understand One Another'S Roles. This Book Bridges This Gap By Helping Biologists Understand Stateoftheart Statistical Methods For Analyzing Capturerecapture Data. In So Doing, Statisticians Will Also Become More Familiar With The Design Of Field Studies And With The Reallife Issues Facing Biologists.Reliable Outcomes Of Capturerecapture Studies Are Vital To Answering Key Ecological Questions. Is The Population Increasing Or Decreasing? Do More Or Fewer Animals Have A Particular Characteristic? In Answering These Questions, Biologists Cannot Hope To Capture And Mark Entire Populations. And Frequently, The Populations Change Unpredictably During A Study. Thus, Increasingly Sophisticated Models Have Been Employed To Convert Data Into Answers To Ecological Questions. This Book, By Experts In Capturerecapture Analysis, Introduces The Most Uptodate Methods For Data Analysis While Explaining The Theory Behind Those Methods. Thorough, Concise, And Portable, It Will Be Immensely Useful To Biologists, Biometricians, And Statisticians, Students In Both Fields, And Anyone Else Engaged In The Capturerecapture Process.
