Biology 11

Today we examined 2 ways that ecologist estimate the size of populations.

We completed a lab where we practiced using the Quadrat method.

After the break we discussed the Mark-Recapture method and completed our own trials using beans.

Both labs have a written component that is due on Monday October 15.

The powerpoint on the Mark-Recapture method is here.
