Description
This lesson centers around estimating population sizes, in particular, different mark-recapture calculations and their associated assumptions. The students will complete a lesson in R to practice the basics of using R for calculations and to review mark-recapture equations. They will apply the methodology outlined in this swirl lesson to measuring the sizes of unknown populations.
