Abstract excerpt
Estimating population size of elusive and rare species is challenging. The difficulties in catching such species has triggered the use of samples collected noninvasively, such as feces or hair; from which genetic analysis yields data similar to capture-mark-recapture (CMR) data. There are, however two differences between classical CMR and noninvasive CMR. First, capture and recapture data are gathered over...
