Robustness of close‐kin mark–recapture estimators to dispersal limitation and spatially varying sampling probabilities

Abstract Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) is a method for estimating abundance and vital rates from kinship relationships observed in genetic samples. CKMR inference only requires animals to be sampled once (e.g., lethally), potentially widening the scope of population‐level inference relative to tra...
