Popis: Conservation biology aims at assessing the status of a population, based on information which is often incomplete. Integrated population modelling based on state-space models appears to be a power- ful and relevant way of combining into a single likelihood several types of information such as capture- recapture data and population surveys. In this paper, the authors desc ribe the principles of integrated popu- lation modelling and they evaluate its performance for conservation biology based on a case study, that of the black-footed albatross, a northern Pacific albatross species suspe cted to be impacted by longline fishing.
