"Smooth" semiparametric regression analysis for arbitrarily censored time-to-event data

BIOMETRICS, 64(2), 567–576.

author keywords: butterflies; distance sampling; endangered butterflies; insects; mark-recapture; rare species; species monitoring; threatened species; transect counts
MeSH headings : Animals; Butterflies / physiology; Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecosystem; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Population Density; Time Factors
TL;DR: Mark–recapture analysis provided by far the greatest amount of demographic information, including estimates of population size, detection, survival, and recruitment probabilities, and Pollard–Yates population indices derived from transect counts did not provide estimates of demographic parameters.
