Are PIT tags good tools for the study of small mammal populations?

I am working on population dynamics and reproductive ecology of a small desert marsupial (20-30g). This species is a bit difficult to mark. At present I am using ear knotching but I am looking...

Are there any specific statistical analyses for estimating rodent abundance when the sampling involves sacrificing individuals?

Sampling will take place in dry forest and rainforest transects in Costa Rica. Rodents will be trapped and then sacrificed for disease diagnosis.
