Description
Repeated capture and measurement of individually marked wild mammals over multiple years to quantify measurement error and individual variation in hind-foot length. Uses species-appropriate trapping methods combined with standardized morphometric measurements.
Typical Equipment
- Tomahawk live traps
- Clover box traps
- Stephenson box traps
- corral trap
- electronic calipers
- soft tape measure
Output Measurements
- hind-foot length
- individual capture histories
- measurement repeatability
