I just recompiled and uploaded the MARK book (in both normal 'portrait' and 'double-column' rotated formats) to the website. Full collation and indexing of several new bits (including Ken Burnham's random effects and variance components appendix D), as well as the usual collection of typos and bug-fixes.

In the coming weeks, I'll be posting some additional material, including a chapter on MCMC in MARK, and some tools for handling parameter identifiability, plus some other bits as they come up. There are also pending chapters on occupancy models in MARK, and another chapter on some recent working combining telemetry and mark-recapture to get good estimates of 'density'.

Hello,

I see that you are planning on adding chapters about telemetry and density, I am very interested in learning about this when you do. I have seen the data type option for this, and in anticipation of this I wonder if it would be possible to acquire an example data matrix so that I could play around with the program a bit, and perhaps try some of my own data. Anything would be helpful. Thank you.

Sometime next month, in all likelihood. Can't do much before then. Without fully worked out documentation, you're absolutely discouraged from trying anything on 'real data' (for this or any other model).

Thank you for the reply, I guess I will just have to wait patiently.

That is always recommended over the alternative.
