Abstract

Captorc-mark-recapture data has been cxtensively used fur the study of survival. However, re-cruitment and population growth rat,c can be investigated a? well. The study of recruitment is shown to h r equivalent to the study of survival in reverse and can he carried out by inverting capture histories. The natural parameter in this approach h e r e called seniority probability- is, at each occasion, thr probability of being previously in the population. An ovcrall likelihood is then presented that describes the gains and losties to the population by means of survival and seniority prohabilitics. This likelihood can be easily modified for thr direct stndy of population growt,h rates between occasions. 1.
