Q

population measurements

17
Q

quadrats

A
  • 1m^2
  • a random area
  • volume measurements: m^3 or L(iters)
18
Q

percent error

A

(experimental - theoretical) / theoretical x 100 = %

19
Q

transects

A
  • defined pathway
  • useful for a distribution pattern of species within an ecosystem
20
Q

mark - recapture

A
  • useful for active species
  • very accurate
