19. Extension to โopenโ populations
โขโฏ Main assumption: demographic closure
โขโฏ How to account for mortality?
โขโฏ Rarely possible to track individuals from birth to death
โขโฏ Number resightings decreases over
time if youโre dead
โขโฏ There is information on survival in CR
data
โขโฏ P. Couetโs talk
20. Extension to โopenโ populations
โขโฏ Use of open population CR models - mortality
โขโฏ Estimate survival probability while accounting for detection < 1
21. Extension to โopenโ populations
โขโฏ Use of open population CR models - mortality
โขโฏ Estimate survival probability while accounting for detection < 1
โขโฏ Abundance estimate = observed counts corrected by detection

38. Model assumptions?
โขโฏ Demographic closure: survival < 100% for 2 out 3 regions
โขโฏ Permanent marks: adults only by discarding badly marked
โขโฏ Homogeneity in detection: heterogeneity doesnโt do better
โขโฏ Homogeneity in survival: transience accoun-

from aerial surveys? Cf. S. Laranโs talk

39. Perspectives
โขโฏ Deal with bilateral photo-IDs for full data exploitation
Bonnici, Labach, David, Di-Mรฉglio & Gimenez (in prep). Improved integration of bilateral photo-id data in mark-recapture analyses.
