TLDR
RMark provides a formula-based interface for analysis of capture-recapture data with the program MARK, which reduces the development time of models and removes the potential for errors introduced from manual creation of design matrices in MARK.
Abstract
RMark provides a formula-based interface for analysis of capture-recapture data with the program MARK. RMark reduces the development time of models and removes the potential for errors introduced from manual creation of design matrices in MARK. By providing an interface to MARK in R, all of the tools in R can be accessed to extract and manipulate data, plot or simulate. It also provides the potential to include MARK analysis in a reproducible document with Sweave and LTEX. I demonstrate RMark using the commonly analyzed European dipper data.

camtrapR: an R package for efficient camera trap data management

TL;DR: The free and open‐source R package camtrapR is described, a new toolbox for flexible and efficient management of data generated in camera trap‐based wildlife studies and should be most useful to researchers and practitioners who regularly handle large amounts of camera trapping data.

Spatially heterogeneous impact of climate change on small mammals of montane California.

TL;DR: The results support previous findings of primarily upslope shifts in montane species, but also highlight the degree to which the responses of individual species vary across geographically replicated landscapes.

Cascading trend of Early Paleozoic marine radiations paused by Late Ordovician extinctions.

TL;DR: This study suggests a protracted crisis interval linked to intense volcanism during the middle Late Ordovician Katian Age, and argues that plate tectonics exerted an overarching control on biodiversity accumulation.

Forbidden fruit: human settlement and abundant fruit create an ecological trap for an apex omnivore

TL;DR: This work highlights the presence and pervasiveness of an ET for an apex omnivore that lacks the evolutionary cues, under human-induced rapid ecological change, to assess trade-offs between food resources and human-caused mortality, which results in maladaptive habitat selection.

Program MARK: survival estimation from populations of marked animals

TL;DR: Mark as discussed by the authors provides parameter estimates from marked animals when they are re-encountered at a later time as dead recoveries, or live recaptures or re-sightings.

TL;DR: A recent survey of capture-recapture models can be found in this article, with an emphasis on flexibility in modeling, model selection, and the analysis of multiple data sets.

Modeling Survival and Testing Biological Hypotheses Using Marked Animals: A Unified

TL;DR: This paper synthesizes, using a common framework, recent developments of capture-recapture models oriented to estimation of survival rates together with new ones, with an emphasis on flexibility in modeling, model selection, and the analysis of multiple data sets.

Sweave: Dynamic Generation of Statistical Reports Using Literate Data Analysis

TL;DR: Sweave combines typesetting with LATEX and data anlysis with S into integrated statistical documents that can be automatically updated if data or analysis change, which allows truly reproducible research.
