AbstractThe ecology lab class used an unbiased rearrangement of the Lincoln-Peterson method of estimating a population size to find the population range of spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) in a typical pond location. By comparing the number of repeated captures in two samplings, we were able to come up with an approximation of the spotted salamander population in a given pond.
Introduction
Population is defined as “a group of individuals of the same species that live together in an area of sufficient size to permit normal dispersal and/or migration behaviour and in which population changes are largely the results of birth and death processes” (Baguette 2003). Attempting to measure population by this definition is exceptionally impractical, and in most cases only an educated estimate is made as to document a population. Of the many methods for population estimation, the Lincoln-Peterson method, also known as mark-recapture technique, is often used as a simple means to estimate population based on random sampling.
The Lincoln-Peterson method is one in which a random sample of a population is collected, marked, and released back into the niche. In time a second sampling is taken, and the numbers of individuals that are identified as members of the first sampling are recorded
