Population dynamics for conservation
by Botsford, Louis W., White, J. Wilson, Hastings, Alan
Provides a coherent overview of the theory of single population dynamics, discussing concepts such as population variability, population stability, population viability/persistence, and harvest yield while later chapters address specific applications to conservation and manageme…
Integrated data analyses are becoming increasingly popular in studies of wild animal populations where two or more separate sources of data contain information about common parameters. Here we develop an integrated population model using abundance and demographic data from a stu…
Incidental catch, or bycatch, of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in fishing operations is an international conservation issue. The main objective of this thesis was to develop methods for determining the impact of bycatch on the state and dynamics of porpoise populations an…
Statistical Methods for Field and Laboratory Studies in Behavioral Ecology provides the reader with an explanation of how statistical methods may be used to make sense of behaviroral ecology and other types of data. The text is fairly self-contained, in that is presents fundamen…

Handbook of capture-recapture analysis
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 no…
