The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Counting all the fresh piles of faecal pellets of deer in a given area is an example of," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Context**: The question is about determining the population of deer in a specific area. We need to identify the method used for this estimation. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - Direct counting - Complete counting - Indirect counting - Mark and recapture method 3. **Analyzing the Methods**: - **Direct Counting**: This method involves counting the actual number of individuals present in a population. In this case, it would mean counting the deer directly, which is not feasible in large areas. - **Complete Counting**: This refers to counting every individual in a population, which is often impractical in wildlife studies due to the size and mobility of animals. - **Indirect Counting**: This method involves estimating the population based on signs or indicators left by the organisms, such as tracks, nests, or fecal pellets. In this case, counting the faecal pellets left by deer is an example of this method. - **Mark and Recapture Method**: This is a technique used to estimate population size by capturing individuals, marking them, and then releasing them back into the environment to see how many are recaptured later. 4. **Applying the Knowledge**: Since we are counting the fresh piles of faecal pellets rather than the deer themselves, we are using an indirect method to estimate the deer population. The faecal pellets serve as an indicator of the presence and number of deer in that area. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **indirect counting**. This method allows ecologists to estimate the population density of deer without needing to count each individual directly. ### Final Answer: Counting all the fresh piles of faecal pellets of deer in a given area is an example of **indirect counting**. ---
