Improving estimates of uncertainty in wildlife population assessments

  Research Group: Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling
Reliable estimates of wildlife population size are fundamental to effective management and conservation. One important component of reliability is the precision (or, conversely, variance) of the estimate. Read more
