Abstract
Estimation of the population density of the common wombat (Vombatus ursinus) has used regression equations based on the mean number of burrows used per 24 h over five successive 24-h periods. While adequate, the method has several deficiencies and required 6 successive days of fieldwork to carry out. We describe a revised method based on considerably more data. It provides more precise estimates, can be used for greater numbers of used burrows and can be carried out over a much shorter period.
