We evaluated the efficacy of spotlight surveys
and passive track surveys conducted along roads for assessing the relative
abundance of feral cats and dingoes in a semi-arid rangeland environment in
central Australia. Track surveys were more time-efficient than spotlight
surveys and offered higher precision. We cover a range of issues that need to
be considered when using track-based surveys to assess population change. We
also discuss the merits of other techniques used to monitor the abundance of
mammalian carnivores.
