Parallel‐laser photogrammetry to estimate body size in free‐ranging mammals

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015
It is not always practical to hand‐measure body size of free‐ranging animals. In recent years, parallel‐laser photogrammetry has become increasingly common for obtaining remote estimates of body size.
