Estimating Species Populations – a critical step in understanding ecological processes

Understanding the size of animal populations is necessary – but also extremely challenging. Andrea Campos Candela, a PhD student with the Fish Ecology Lab in the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies (IMEDEA-CSIC) talks us through this problem. “How many animals are there? Understanding ecological processes and the dynamics of wild animal populations is dependent on our answer to such seemingly simple question.  Further, recognizing changes … Continue reading Estimating Species Populations – a critical step in understanding ecological processes
