Inconstant catchability among individual fish has been widely recognized... as a major source of error in depletion estimates of population size when using models [that] assume constant catchability. Inconstant catchability is a feature of populations that contain individuals with different vulnerabilities to capture or when their behaviour changes with successive hauls. The effect is to cause a rapid depletion of the more vulnerable individuals after the first unit(or few units) of effort is applied, leaving behind a pool of animals with a lower [catchability]. 2, record 1, English, - inconstant%20catchability

In a study, the sample size and the alpha level are set according to the principle that a single null hypothesis will be tested at the end of the study, once all the data have been gathered. If more than one statistical test is undertaken, e. g. pairwise comparisons of several interventions, or tests on different variables, at different timepoints or on different sub-groups, there will be an increase in the planned overall Type I error(alpha) probability. Some statistical methods are proposed to take multiple testing into account, but they are controversial. 3, record 4, English, - multiple%20testing

Dans une étude, la taille de l’échantillon et le niveau alpha sont fixés en fonction du principe qu’une seule hypothèse nulle sera vérifiée à la fin de l’étude, une fois toutes les données recueillies. Si l’on procède à plus d’un test statistique, par exemple à des comparaisons de plusieurs interventions par paires, à des tests sur différentes variables, à différents moments ou sur différents sous-groupes, il y aura une hausse de la probabilité prévue d’erreur de type I (alpha) globale.
