摘要: We evaluated the efficacy of spotlight surveys and passive track conducted along roads for assessing relative abundance feral cats dingoes in a semi-arid rangeland environment central Australia. Track were more time-efficient than offered higher precision. cover range issues that need to be considered when using track-based assess population change. also discuss merits other techniques used monitor mammalian carnivores.
