Abstract
Certain indirect techniques, such as the mark/recapture method, or estimating abundance through radio tracking or by using DNA analysis, are special cases. Although these methods are used when only part of a population is visible to the observers, they do not come under the category of index techniques, because they lead to estimates of population size.
