how can i measure the abundance of a poblation without counting Again the same individual?
February 13th, 2010 | by admin |like in monkeys population for example how can i measure the abundance total and not counting again the same individual? not marking them?
is there any formula to determine a percetange of that error?
thanks.
Well there are different ways to measure a given population. For example if you know they are randomly distributed through a 1 mile square area you could take and measure the number in a 1/4 mile area and multiply that by 4. If you are not counting an individual again, then the percentage of error would be that individual divided by that individual plus the total population. Email me with the details. I don’t know if this quite explains your question.
