AbstractGenotyping error, often associated with low‐quantity/quality DNA samples, is an important issue when using genetic tags to estimate abundance using capture‐mark‐recapture (CMR).dropout, an MS‐Windows program, identifies both loci and samples that likely contain errors affecting CMR estimates.dropoutuses a ‘bimodal test’, that enumerates the number of loci different between each pair of samples, and a ‘difference in capture history test’ (DCH) to determine those loci producing the most errors. Importantly, the DCH test allows one to determine that a data set is error‐free.dropouthas been evaluated in McKelvey & Schwartz (2004) and is now available online.
