Quite Useful

I used this book for an undergrad research project in tropical forests as well as for a course in censusing techniques. I liked the way it was written and how it explained why each method was used. I did find that it didn't go into great depth for any one application and didn't provide much in the way of statistical analyses, but it was very clear about the undertaking of these projects. For an introduction to various methods it is excellent, but I think it should be supplemented with a more advanced and analytic text.

Excellent book for students

This is an excellent book for the studying ecologist or field biologist, a professional would certainly want more, such as Techniques for Wildlife Investigation and Management by the Wildlife Society. This handbook is just that and it offers the basics for just about any survey. For undergraduates interested in independent studies or grad students just getting started, this is your book. It will guide you through everything from sampling techniques based on specific classes (ie fishes, amphibians, etc.) to statistical analysis and common errors.

Ecological Censusing Techniques

This book is useful and unbiased. It covers both animal and plant censuing. I found it very useful and informational.
