This book is written to serve as a general reference for biologists and resource
managers with relatively little statistical training. It focuses on both basic concepts and
practical applications to provide professionals with the tools needed to assess monitoring
methods that can detect trends in populations. It combines classical finite population
sampling designs with population enumeration procedures in a unified approach for
obtaining abundance estimates for species of interest. The statistical information is presented
in practical, easy-to-understand terminology.
