Abstract :

Choice of methods and intensity of data collection largely determine the reliability and strength of interpretation in wildlife field studies. As nature is complex and habits of individual species vary in space and time, field biologists have developed several techniques offering various options to meet the challenges of ecological investigations. This paper is a synthesis of diverse field research methods in wildlife science and addresses the basic issues in this discipline, aiming to benefit wildlife researchers and field managers
