Stopover Duration Analysis with Departure Probability Dependent on Unknown Time Since Arrival

  • Chapter

Part of the Environmental and Ecological Statistics book series (ENES,volume 3)

Abstract

In stopover duration analysis for migratory birds, models with the probability of departure dependent upon time since arrival are useful if the birds are stopping over to replenish body fat. In capture–recapture studies, the exact time of arrival is not generally known, as a bird may not be captured soon after arrival, or it may not be captured at all. We present models which allow for the uncertain knowledge of arrival time, while providing estimates of the total number of birds stopping over, and the distribution and mean of true stopover times for the population.
