Abstract
The estimation of size is of immense importance in a variety of mobile biological populations. It helps to study population growth, ecological adaptation, natural selection, evolution, maintenance of many wildlife populations, and so on. Unlike other populations considered in previous chapters, the sampling units in the wildlife populations do not remain fixed at one place. They are rather highly mobile. Therefore, for mobile populations, it is essential to use alternative approach for sampling and estimation.
