How do ecologists find out the numbers of each animal?
Ecologists sample areas in the environment they wish to study to work out a vague idea of the numbers of different species in their habitat. 4 methods of sampling are used; Quadrats, Random sampling, Systematic sampling using transects and the Lincoln index (mark-release-recapture). For mobile animals the best method is the Lincoln index which is an estimation of population size using to samples of the area. First they sample the area capturing the species they desire and mark them with a non toxic marker. After a suitable period of time they re sample the area. Estimated population size = Number of individuals caught in 1st sample * Number of individuals caught in 2nd sample/total number of individuals re caught from 1st sample in the 2nd sample. Assumptions must be made for the whole sample and statistical tests must be used to detect any factor that would have an effect on the results e.g. chance.

What is capture mark and release method?
Mark and recapture is a method commonly used in ecology to estimate an animal population's size where it is impractical to count every individual. A portion of the population is captured, marked, and released.
What are some ways to find out a population size?
One way is what is called a "Mark-Recapture" a study on how large the population is.Please see related link below!

Compared to what? One disadvantage is usually a loss of quality. Even a small mark on the copier will cause it to show up on any duplicated documents.
How can an ecologist ecologist measure population size?
An ecologist can determine the size of a population without counting every organism by either sampling, mark-and-recapture studies, or indirect or direct observation.
