Recommended readings

We assume that you are familiar with capture-recapture methodology. You can find basic background for one-site capture-recapture analysis in:
- Lebreton, J. D., K. P. Burnham, J. Clobert and D. R. Anderson (1992). "Modeling survival and testing biological hypotheses using marked animals: a unified approach with case studies." Ecological Monographs 62: 67-118.

As an introduction to multistate models, we recommend to read carefully:
- Lebreton, J.-D., J. D. Nichols, R. J. Barker, R. Pradel and and J. A. Spendelow, Modeling Individual Animal Histories with Multistate Capture–Recapture Models. In Hal Caswell, editor: Advances in Ecological Research, Vol. 41, Burlington: Academic Press, 2009, pp. 87-173.

The goodness-of-fit tests for multistate models are presented in:
- Pradel, R., C. Wintrebert and O. Gimenez (2003). "A proposal for a goodness-of-fit test to the Arnason-Schwarz multisite capture-recapture model." Biometrics 59: 43-53.
- Pradel, R., O. Gimenez, et al. (2005). "Principles and interest of GOF tests for multistate capture-recapture models." Animal Biodiversity and Conservation 28(2): 189–204.

As an introduction to multievent models, we recommend to read:
- Pradel, R. (2005). "Multievent: An extension of multistate capture-recapture models to uncertain states." Biometrics 61: 442-447.
- Gimenez, O., Lebreton, J.-D., Gaillard, J.-M., Choquet, R. and R. Pradel (2012). Estimating demographic parameters using hidden process dynamic models. Theoretical Population Biology. 82: 307-316
