Abstract
Mark-recapture techniques were used to determine the size of a white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) population in a woodlot in Bowling Green, Ohio. Sherman live traps were used to capture the mice, which were then marked by attaching an ear tag. Population size estimates were obtained using a Lincoln-Peterson method, and a Jolly method.
Keywords: mark-recapture, Lincolin-Peterson estimate, Jolly estimate, population estimate
