Abstract
Throughout this book we formulate the problem of estimating animal abundance in terms of state models and observation models. This gives a common framework and allows many different estimation methods to be viewed as variants on the same basic theme. It also provides a natural link to more complicated methods for open populations, which we discuss briefly in this book, but which are crucial for the management of wildlife populations.
