What is Spoor Counts for Carnivore Density Estimation about?
This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between spoor (track) counts and true population density estimates for large carnivores in northern Namibia. Researchers directly measured population sizes and densities of leopards, lions, and wild dogs using individual recognition. They then independently conducted spoor counts in the same areas. The study found that sampling effort, such as number of roads and total road distance surveyed, affected the accuracy of spoor density calculations.
