Effect of subsampling genotyped hair samples on model averaging to estimate black bear population abundance and density

DNA-based capture-mark-recapture techniques are commonly used to monitor wildlife populations. Analyzing all collected samples can be cost prohibitive for studies of highdensity populations; therefore, subsampling is frequently used to offset genetic analysis costs yet obtain reliable population abu...
