CAPWIRE

CAPWIRE was developed for estimating population sizes based on non-invasive genetic sampling.  The data generated from this sampling differ from traditional mark–recapture data in that individuals may be captured multiple times within a session or there may only be a single sampling event.  The principle author of this software is Craig Miller.   The program is based on the model developed in

C.R. Miller, P. Joyce and L.P. Waits. A new method for estimating the size of small populations from genetic mark-recapture data.   Molecular Ecology 14, 1991-2005, 2005. (pdf Reprint)
