Abundance estimation
Abundance estimation comprises all statistical methods for estimating the number of individuals in a population. In ecology, this may be anything from estimating the number of daisies in a field to estimating the number of blue whales in the ocean.[1]
Plot sampling
Mark-recapture
Distance sampling
gollark: No, they designed a slightly ridiculous alternative mode for extremely constrained situations.

gollark: Matrix actually has some experimental mode for 100bps channels, apparently.
gollark: Troubling.
gollark: Although they *are* very nice pictures.
