Title: Capture-Recapture Models: Uses of the Robust Design
Author(s): Ken Pollock*+
Companies: North Carolina State University
Address: Dept of Zoology, Raleigh, NC, 27695-7617,
Keywords: capture-recapture ; robust design ; point counts ; sampling ; unequal catchability
Abstract:

The robust design which combines open and closed capture-recapture models in one analysis has now become a classic part of the capture-recapture literature. In this paper I will review uses of the robust design to allow for unequal catchability of animals, temporary emigration of animals, and separation of components of recruitment. I will then consider some recent work where we use the robust design to separate components of detection in avian point counts (probability of a bird singing and probability of detection given a bird sings). I will also consider possible errors in the detection history inherent in such problems and how to model them.
