| Abstract | Telemetry is an increasingly popular method for studying animal movements and habitat use. Additionally, telemetry provides a means for studying survival and causes of mortality. In this paper I will be describing some statistical techniques which can provide valid estimates of survival rates based on data from telemetry studies. Two basic study schemes are used to observe survival time. In the first, observations on all animals begin at the same time. In some instances time origin will correspond to some biologically meaningful date such as average fledging date, but often time origin is simply the beginning of the study. In practice it is often impossible to mark all animals in one day, but the period of capturing and marking should be as short as possible. In the second study scheme animals enter the study periodically. For wildlife studies this scheme will probably be more common than the first. |
