Novel inference models for estimation of abundance, survivorship and recruitment in mosquito populations using mark-release-recapture data.

Experiments involving mosquito mark-release-recapture (MRR) design are helpful to determine abundance, survival and even recruitment of mosquito populations in the field. Obstacles in mosquito MRR protocols include marking limitations due to small individual size, short lifespan, low efficiency in c...
