Abstract

The number of common wombats can be estimated directly either by capturing every animal during a single trapping session or by mark-recapture over at least three trapping sessions. Indirect estimates can be obtained by recording the number of burrows used every 24 h. Spotlight counts do not provide accurate population estimates.
