Notes of the Determination of Bat Populations Using Photographic Measurements
Tom Warden

Abstract

Bat population counts during the 1960's were based upon visual impressions rather than upon counting individuals and were rather inaccurate. Photographic bat population investigation, then a relatively new technique, is based on periodically counting individual bats revealed in photographs and extrapolating that count by means of a mathematical formula.
