| Authors: | A R Sen |
| Abstract: | This paper reviews some of the important methods for estimating animal numbers or densities based on (i) direct counts of population units as used in quadrat, strip, line-transect and line-intercept sampling and (ii) indirect counts and indices, such as capture-mark recapture, change-in-ratio, catch-effort methods and indices based on track counts, call, roadside and pellet-group counts, etc. |
