Dear MARMAM'ers, We have had a few last minute cancellations to a Bayesian Capture-Recapture (CR) workshop at the 2017 Biennial SMM Conference. This is a full-day workshop held on Sunday, October 29, 2017, 08:00-17:00. This workshop is run in response to recent advances in CR modelling showing that there are number of advantages in implementing Bayesian CR models over other popular methods. These advantages will be highlighted and discussed throughout the workshop. The workshop will include an introduction to Bayesian theory and beginner/intermediate tutorials on R and JAGS. JAGS is the popular and flexible Bayesian scripting language that can code CR models and much more! The workshop is suitable for students, researchers, professors, veteran program MARK users, and anyone who is already familiar with CR and would like to learn how to implement Bayesian CR models. Intermediate familiarity with R and CR is expected.The learning aspects of the workshop will be focused on Bayesianism and performing Bayesian CR analyses with the BUGS/JAGS syntax (through R). You can register for this workshop online at the conference website http://www.smmconference.org/# <https://mail.murdoch.edu.au/owa/redir.aspx?C=h6RSqikoVjNw7Id0DJAkO8tv8icY9cnCp2cWsJSwcsFG4tTR9d_UCA..&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.smmconference.org%2f%23> , however as we are so close to the workshop please also e-mail me at k.nicholson@murdoch.edu.au should you be interested in attending the workhop. All the best, Dr. Robert Rankin and Krista Nicholson
