Crude and Ecological Density

Question 6

When you measure the numbers of species of interest in the same area is known as?

Answer 6

Relative Densities

Question 7

What is a Positive to using Relative Densities to measure a Population?

Answer 7

Cheaper than Population Estimate

Question 8

What is a Negative to using a Relative Densities to measure a Population?

Answer 8

Hard to get conditions the same year after year as animals migrate and it’s hard to get the actual population estimate
