Wildlife Tracking | MCQs

Explanation

The Line Transect Method is a survey technique where an observer follows a fixed pathway (transect) and records bird sightings along the way.

This method is useful for estimating bird populations, species distribution, and habitat preferences.

Explanation

Radio telemetry is commonly used to track amphibians

But can only be used on relatively large individuals.

Harmonic direction finding can be used to track smaller animals, but its effectiveness has not been fully evaluated.

Explanation

 Direct observation methods for tracking mammals have limitations, especially for nocturnal species.

Since these animals are active at night, low visibility makes it difficult to observe them directly.

Additionally, dense habitats and shy behavior further reduce the effectiveness of this method.
