20.

This method includes counting of individual organisms in a population of a total area.

a)

Counting

b)

Capture-Recapture

c)

Surveying

d)

Grid Style Multiplying

21.

This method is done by capturing and tagging a certain number of organisms in a population, releasing them, recapturing another time and counting the amount of tagged organisms in that recapture. Using the numbers of recaptures along with other variables and a derived formula, we can estimate the population in that area.

a)

Counting

b)

Capture-Recapture

c)

Surveying

d)

Grid Style Multiplying

22.

This method uses information gathered through various surveys, roadkill, hunting reports, citizen monitoring etc.

a)

Counting

b)

Sapture-Recapture

c)

Surveying

d)

Grid Style Multiplying

23.

This method is done by counting numbers of individual organisms in a small section of a certain area, then multiplied by the correct ratio to find an estimate of the population of the entire area.

a)

Counting

b)

Capture-Recapture

c)

Counting

d)

Grid Style Multiplying

24.
