[bionet.population-bio] RFI - Population estimation techniques

michaelh@uhunix2.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu (Michael A. Hoffhines) (03/27/91)

It has been some time since I last examined population estimation techniques
and would appreciate any pointers to current techniques that are based on
mark/recapture. 

The population in question (NE Pacific Humpback whales) is extremely dynamic 
on its breeding grounds and assumptions of no immigration/emigration are 
difficult (impossible) to justify.

Please e-mail and I will summerize (<-that's Hawaiian for summarize) if
there is enough interest.

Thanks in advance, Mike.
