Abstract

The ability to recapture marked animals over a long time is important because it allows researchers to examine many aspects of population and community biology. Demography and life history traits can be quantified through many years and across generations. This in turn allows researchers to separate stochastic population fluctuations from fluctuations from environmental or anthropogenic perturbations. Non-invasive marking techniques also are important for the study of species that are subject to either ethical or legal restrictions on killing animals
