Created School Year Lynn Waterhouse, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Jennifer Ogo, Kearny SCT, San Diego Unified School District Joanne “JJ” Johnson, Kearny SCT, San Diego Unified School District Taking a Closer Look at Tagging Studies Scripps Classroom Connection

● Census ● Sampling ● Random sampling ● Quadrat sampling ● Tagging ● Mark-recapture studies Methods for Studying Populations Scripps Classroom Connection

Type of tagging study will depend on question being asked ● How many individuals are in the population? ● How large of an area does an animal occupy? Home range? ● How does animal behavior change with the seasons? ● How does animal behavior change after a disturbance? What are some other questions you might want to ask??? Tags for Studying Populations Scripps Classroom Connection

Individual-based ● home-range, movement, finer-scale Population-based ● total number, migrations, mortality (natural and harvest related), survival, growth Different tags for short-term or long-term studies. Some types of tags provide information at the individual and population level. Tags for Studying Populations Scripps Classroom Connection

● In general: less expensive, long-lasting, coarse data, unique identifiers ● Streamer tags ● Disc tags ● Colored Elastomer tags ● Bird bands ● Passive Integrated Technology (PIT tags) Types of Questions: Population-based Scripps Classroom Connection

● In general: more expensive, shorter duration, finer- scale data, unique identifiers ● SPOT – Smart Position or Temperature Transmitting Tag ● SRDL – Satellite Relay Data Logger ● Pop-up archival tags (PAT) ● Critter Camera ● Radio tags ● Archival tags (long duration, but must be retrieved Types of Questions: Individual-based Scripps Classroom Connection

Mark-Recapture Studies Diver holding a pole which is used for tagging Nassau grouper. Scripps Classroom Connection

Goal: Estimate total population size (N) Time 1: capture K individuals & mark them Time 2: capture J individuals and see how many of them are marked (M) Mark Recapture Studies Scripps Classroom Connection

Mark Recapture Example Scripps Classroom Connection How many ducks are in the lake??

Mark Recapture Example Scripps Classroom Connection Capture 50 ducks. Tag them

Mark Recapture Example Scripps Classroom Connection Time 2. Capture 80 ducks. 12 are tagged.

Estimating population numbers Mark Recapture Studies Scripps Classroom Connection

Mark Recapture Example Scripps Classroom Connection N = ? K = 50 J = 80 M = 12

Mark Recapture Example Scripps Classroom Connection N = K = 50 J = 80 M = 12

● The question of interest determines what type of tagging study should be used. ● Mark-recapture studies can be used to estimate total population size. Scripps Classroom Connection Conclusions
