Ideas in this flowchart

  • Mark-recapture estimates population size
  • Individuals are captured
  • Individuals are marked and released
  • Individuals are captured again later
  • The proportion of marked individuals in the second sample is measured
  • This proportion estimates the population size
  • The method depends on specific assumptions
  • The population remains closed
  • Sampling is random
  • Marking does not affect individual behavior
  • Sufficient time allows the marked individuals to mix

"In mark-recapture, individuals are captured, marked, released, and later captured again. The proportion of marked individuals in the second sample is used to estimate the proportion of the total population marked in the first sample, producing an estimate of population size. The method depends on assumptions such as a closed population, random sampling, unaffected behavior after marking, and sufficient time for mixing."
