Abstract
This paper reviews field methods for estimating and monitoring the abundance
of terrestrial carnivores that do not involve capture. Effective methods of
monitoring abundance are important tools for the management and conservation
of many species. The development of methods for carnivores presents particular
challenges, as they are often secretive and widely dispersed. Nevertheless, a
variety of approaches based on direct observations and quantification of field
signs have been employed. These techniques are described in relation to
carnivore ecology and resource implications, and the advantages and
deficiencies of each are discussed with reference to case studies.
