Review
Praise for the first edition: 'There are too few books like this that help students to see the broad picture of census methods and yet warn them of the censusing sins listed in the last chapter of the book ... This book will assist university lecturers in teaching the methods essential to developing reliable databases for conservation and management, and for testing ecological theory.' Charles J. Krebs, Trends in Ecology and Evolution '... easy to read and with a full discussion of biases as well as usages there's every potential for this text to be an essential reader for ecology students (and staff!).' British Ecological Society, TEG News '...an excellent guide ... The book will be useful to ecologists at all levels.' Aslib Book Guide 'Well illustrated with line drawings, tables, graphs etcetera this book provides a comprehensive overview of the most important methods for those working on field studies in population and behavioural ecology - amateur and professional alike.' Bryan Sage, Countryside 'Anyone planning a census programme as part of a conservation monitoring project should consult this book.' Peter D. Moore, New Scientist '... a must for every student of ecology and should be used by every individual interested in counting organisms in the field. Researchers in population and behavioural ecology and those interested in conservation of species would find this book very useful.' J. P. S. Chauhan, International Journal of Ecology and Environmental Sciences 'A comprehensive handbook ... an excellent book for beginners and professionals alike.' M. Bonsall, Biologist ' ... a very thorough and useful guide to everything you need to know about planning and carrying out an ecological study. The first three chapters provide a sound basic grounding in designing a study, and assist in defining the best sampling and census methodology techniques that can be applied in a wide range of situations. The book is clearly written and set out so that it is simple enough for students to understand while including enough detail to still be useful for experienced researchers.' Ecological Society of Australia

An excellent and invaluable source for anyone studying or working in the conservation field. The book is easy to follow and covers a wide variety of census techniques for plants, birds,invertebrates, fish, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. Not only does Sutherland provide an indepth and easy to understand guide on how to perform each technique, but also gives the advantages and disadvantages, essential to understanding the accuracy of each technique and invaluable when drawing conclusions to any census.

It was exactly what i needed to update my knowledge on current survey methods & subsequent use of the data. The clear planning section meant a reduction in wasted time on my current surveys with students.
