Description

Deer were marked with colored paintball pellets for individual identification and surveyed weekly to estimate population size using Lincoln-Petersen estimators. Multiple calculation approaches were used to account for detection probability and spatial constraints.

Typical Equipment

  • paintball guns
  • colored paintball pellets
  • binoculars

Output Measurements

  • population estimates
  • individual capture histories
  • detection probabilities
