Density Estimation in a Wolverine Population using Spatial Capture-Recapture Models (2011, methodology): “Closed population models are widely used to estimate abundance or density of animal populations from fixed arrays of traps or other devices that obtain information on encounter history (Borchers et al. 2002).”
Probabilistic models with unknown objects (2006, background): “…reasoning about unknown objects is population estimation: for instance, estimating the population of a certain animal species in an area by marking animals that are caught in one sweep through the area, and looking at the fraction of marked animals in a subsequent sweep [Borchers et al., 2002].”
Density estimation in live‐trapping studies (2004, methodology): “Considering only one animal and one trap, the probability of capture is a declining function of distance d between the range centre and trap, directly analogous to a detection function g(d) in distance analysis (Borchers et al. 2002).”
Multievent: An Extension of Multistate Capture–Recapture Models to Uncertain States (2005, background): “The data so gathered allow the estimation of vital rates in the wild (see Schwarz and Seber, 1999 for a review of applications).”
Estimating animal population density using passive acoustics (2012, background): “Good overviews are given by Borchers et al. (2002) and Williams et al. (2002, Part III).”
