A simulation-based evaluation of methods for estimating census population size of terrestrial game species from genetically-identified parent-offspring pairs
Estimates of wildlife population size are critical for conservation and management, but accurate estimates are difficult to obtain for many species. Several methods have recently been developed that estimate abundance using kinship relationships observed in genetic samples, particularly parent-offsp...
