Summary:
For conservation to be effective,
wildlife managers need to know how many individuals of a species are out there.
When species are spread out over large areas and occur at low densities, this
can be tricky. However, a new study applies an old technique called
'mark-recapture' in a novel way to count golden eagles, eliminating the need to
actually capture and mark eagles with math that allows scientists to turn
individual observations into population estimates.
