The mark-release-recapture technique involves capturing, marking, and releasing a known number of animals, followed by a second sample to record the number of marked individuals, using a formula to estimate population size.
La tecnica mark-release-recapture prevede la cattura, la marcatura e il rilascio di un numero noto di animali, seguita da un secondo campionamento per registrare il numero di individui marcati, utilizzando una formula per stimare la dimensione della popolazione.
| Front | How does the mark-release-recapture technique work? |
|---|---|
| Back | - capture known number of animals - mark and release into community - wait some time so that organisms disperse into population - capture known number of animals - record number of marked individuals |
