Refining population density estimation from track counts: improving daily travel distance estimates through trailing of large herbivores in the Kalahari, Botswana

Abstract Background Animal track surveys can enable rapid population monitoring for conservation, contingent on a suitable substrate and highly skilled trackers. The Formozov–Malyshev–Pereleshin (FMP) formula converts track counts along transects into absolute population density estimates, using the...
