High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mark and recapture is a method commonly used in ecology to estimate population size. This method is most valuable when a researcher fails to detect all individuals present within a population of interest every time that researcher visits the study area. Other names for this method, or closely related methods, include capture-recapture, capture-mark- recapture, mark-recapture, sight-resight, mark- release-recapture, multiple systems estimation and band recovery. Another major application for these methods is in epidemiology, where they are used to estimate the completeness of ascertainment of disease registers. Typical applications include estimating the number of people needing particular services (i.e. services for children with learning disabilities, services for frail elderly living in the community), or with particular conditions(i.e. illegal drug addicts, people infected with HIV, etc).
