Population monitoring for kangaroo management.

Australian Mammalogy, 2004
In wildlife management, the program of monitoring will depend on the management objective. If the objective is damage mitigation, then ideally it is damage that should be monitored. Alternatively, population size (N) can be used as a surrogate for damage, but the relationship between N and damage obviously needs to be known. If the management objective

Capture height biases for birds in mist-nets vary by taxon, season, and foraging guild in northern California

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2022
Mist-netting is a widely used technique for capturing birds to estimate abundance, demography, and population trends. Investigators in most studies use primarily or only ground-level mist-nets that extend < 3 m vertically.
