Cryptic population size and conservation: consequences of making the unknown known: Cryptic population size and conservation reponse

Abstract

...Our two papers use non‐invasive genetic sampling and population modeling to highlight how far off our original estimate of imperial eagle Aquila heliaca population size was (Rudnick et al., 2008), and to allow us to begin to consider the consequences, for monitoring and for conservation, of changing an known unknown into a known known (Katzner et al., 2011)....
