7. Unofficial BME 19.1: using a mark-recapture model to estimate population density The size of the population at each sampling is estimated by = the estimated population size, ni = the number of lizards caught on the ith sampling (here i can be 2-18 – size cannot be estimated for first or last sampling), and = the estimated proportion of the lizard population caught on day i.

8. Unofficial BME 19.1: using a mark-recapture model to estimate population density To estimate : Recognize 4 groups in any mark-recapture population: • animals caught on sampling i and caught at least once before and once after (Wi), • animals not caught on sampling i and caught at least once before and once after (Xi), • animals caught on sampling i and not caught before and/or after (Yi), and • animals not caught on sampling i and not caught before and/or after (Zi). • Model assumes (Wi / Xi­) ≈ (Yi / Zi­). • Model assumes (Wi / Xi­) ≈ (ni/ (Ni - ­ ni)) • (ni/ (Ni - ­ ni)) = ratio of # caught and # not caught

9. Unofficial BME 19.1: using a mark-recapture model to estimate population density • Rearrange to • If (Wi / Xi­) = (ni/ (Ni - ­ ni)), then (Xi / Wi­) = ((Ni - ­ ni)/ni). • Simplify (Xi / Wi­) = ((Ni - ­ ni)/ni) to (Xi / Wi­) = ((Ni / ni) – 1) • (Xi / Wi­) = ((Ni / ni) – 1)  ((Xi + Wi­)/ Wi­) = (Ni / ni). • Putting together with , & = Wi­ / (Xi + Wi­) • The proportion of the population caught on day i is estimated by knowing how many animals were caught on sampling i and caught at least once before and once after (Wi), and how many animals were not caught on sampling i and caught at least once before and once after (Xi).

10. Unofficial BME 19.1: using a mark-recapture model to estimate population density • Only caught animals are used to estimate the population size • Once is known, plug back in to to estimate
