- Title
Photographic mark--recapture analysis of local dynamics within an open population of dolphins.
- Authors
Fearnbach, H.; Durban, J.; Parsons, K.; Claridge, D.
- Abstract
The article presents a study which used photo-identification data to evaluate population dynamics of bottlenose dolphins. The study used methods of Bayesian statistics, the Jolly-Seber mark-recapture models and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. It discusses the social clusters' differential site fidelity which can be common in bottlenose dolphins.
