Estimation of the size, density, and demographic distribution of the UK pet dog population in 2019 by Kirsten M. McMillan, Xavier A. Harrison, David C. Wong, Melissa M. Upjohn, Robert M. Christley, Rachel A. Casey

“…This makes it difficult to reliably monitor population dynamics and management. A repeatable method of measuring the UK dog population, including owned and unowned dogs i.e., those housed long term by animal welfare charities, would help inform interventions to reduce risks to dog welfare such as poor breeding practices and the illegal import of young or pregnant dogs. …”

Yes, they're all individuals: Hierarchical models for repeat survey data improve estimates of tree growth and size by Tess O'Brien, David Warton, Daniel Falster

“…Abstract Repeat measurement surveys of tree size are used in forests to estimate growth behaviour, biomass and population dynamics. Although size is measured with error and individuals vary in their growth trajectories, current size‐based growth modelling approaches do not usually or fully account for both of these features, and therefore under‐utilise available data. …”
