Author response of: Population size estimation when multiple samples carrying the risk of misidentification are taken within the same capture occasion from the same individual. Round#2

Key Points

• To address challenges in accurately estimating population size when multiple samples are taken from the same individual, risking misidentification.
• Review of existing estimation techniques
• Analysis of misidentification impacts
• Discussion of statistical models applied to population size estimation
• Highlighted increased inaccuracies in population size estimates due to misidentification
• Proposed improved methods for handling multiple samples from individuals
• Recommends best practices for future studies to minimize misidentification risks
