✦ Synopsis

Provides clear guidance on how to estimate parameters for models of animal populations. Concentrates on how to select the best approach to parameter estimation for a particular problem, and how to ensure that the quantity estimate is the appropriate one for the specific purpose of the modelling exercise.
