Description:

Density estimates for populations of Mus musculus and Microtus pennsylvanicus of known size were obtained from three perturbation studies conducted on enclosed grassland and old-field communities. The comparative accuracy of Jolly's stochastic method, a modified Schnabel census, Overton's method, the calendar-of-catches procedure, and Hayne's removal method was evaluated.
