Sensitivity analysis of residency and site fidelity estimations to variations in sampling effort and individual catchability by Eduardo Morteo, Axayácatl Rocha-Olivares, Rodrigo Morteo

“…Mark-recapture techniques are fundamental for assessing marine mammal population dynamics and individual temporal patterns. Since biases imposed by field conditions are generally unknown, we simulated variations in sampling effort (m) and maximum individual catchability (rmax) to analyze their effects on residency levels measured through the number of recaptures (occurrence, O), duration of stay (permanence, P), and average recurrence (periodicity, I) relative to a reference level of exhaustive daily sampling frequency. …”
