Estimating population density and connectivity of American mink using spatial capture–recapture

Abstract: Estimating the abundance or density of populations is fundamental to the conservation and management of species, and as landscapes become more fragmented, maintaining landscape connectivity has become one of the most important challenges for biodiversity conservation. Yet these two issues have never been formally integrated together in a model that simultaneously models abundance while accounting for connectivity of a landscape. We demonstrate an application of using capture-recapture to develop a model of ani… Show more

“…For example, spatial sampling must be sufficient to ensure that individuals are observed at multiple spatial locations. Such spatial recaptures provide direct information about the model parameter s, or other parameters that might affect the distance function such as connectivity (Fuller et al 2015). Moreover, sampling should occur so that a population of home ranges is exposed to sampling, i.e.…”

“…The asymmetric space use model described here and in Box 4 in general, can be extended to multiple landscape characteristics as would be done with any loglinear regression model, and requires only that the landscape covariates are defined at the pixel level. While current applications have focused on river networks (Fuller et al 2015), the approach should be highly relevant for any species for which one or more landscape features act to impede or facilitate movement (Morin et al 2017) (e.g. extreme topographic variation, well-defined networks of roads and trails used by a species, Box 4).…”
