This bibliography is an effort to bring together references from various sources relating to methods that have application or at least historical interest and background in the analysis of bird banding experiments. Several papers reviewing methods or assumptions are included. Attention is focused on the estimation of population size and survival using some type of capture-recapture method. A number of papers dealing with methods of estimating band reporting rates, immigration and mean life span are also included. In the newer, more general birds (single-recapture experiments). Both types of experiment are merely sampling procedures and they have several basic similarities. The term recapture is descriptive of the general process of interest.
Simple experiments and observations reveal the physical properties of light.
Sample sizes necessary for estimating survival rates of banded birds are derived based on specified levels of precision. The equations are derived for studies involving adults only, or adults and young, and the banding study can be new or ongoing. Precision is based on the desired coefficient of variation (CV) of the survival estimates. The CV for annual survival estimates, the CV for mean annual survival estimates, and the length of the study must be specified to compute sample sizes. A computer program, BAND2, has been written to compute the necessary sample sizes given the desired precision level and the length of the study. A description of the input and output for this program is provided.
