In the remainder of this paper we use v; to denote Var(A ) (for model I) or Var(ln A ) (for William A. Link and JeffS. Hatfield model2). The parameter of interest for the trend analysis is Models f-or changes in the size of animal populations the "slope" parameter from models 5 and 6 , namely are central to ecological research and wildlife manage­ b = A,r, (for model 1), (10) ment. Two frequently used models are the linear model and the exponential model, given by or (I) b = ln(l + r), (for model 2), (II) and which is estimated using the usual methods of least squares.
