![]() ![]() This makes methods based on genetically-identified parent-offspring pairs particularly interesting for species for which releasing marked animals back into the population is not desirable or not possible ( e.g., harvested fish or game species). While these methods are similar to traditional Capture-Mark-Recapture, they do not need physical recapture, as individuals are considered recaptured if a sample contains one or more close relatives. Several methods have recently been developed that estimate abundance using kinship relationships observed in genetic samples, particularly parent-offspring pairs. ![]() PeerJ 11: e15151 Įstimates of wildlife population size are critical for conservation and management, but accurate estimates are difficult to obtain for many species. A simulation-based evaluation of methods for estimating census population size of terrestrial game species from genetically-identified parent-offspring pairs.
