Long-term capture-recapture morphometric monitoring (Bovidae)

Local Knowledge Graph (11 entities)

Knowledge graph centered on Long-term capture-recapture morphometric monitoring (Bovidae) with 11 nodes and 19 connections. Top connected: mark-recapture, body size variation, variance partitioning, repeatability, Linear mixed-effects variance partitioning (Bovidae).

Description

Repeated capture and measurement of individually marked wild mammals over multiple years to quantify measurement error and individual variation in hind-foot length. Uses species-appropriate trapping methods combined with standardized morphometric measurements.

Typical Equipment

• Tomahawk live traps
• Clover box traps
• Stephenson box traps
• corral trap
• electronic calipers
• soft tape measure

Output Measurements

• hind-foot length
• individual capture histories
• measurement repeatability
