Why is total number sometimes an inappropriate measure of population density?
1. Total number always provides an accurate measure of population density, regardless of species differences in size and ecological roles.
2. In cases where individuals vary greatly in size or impact, measuring population density based on percent cover or biomass is more meaningful than simple numerical count.
3. Population density can only be determined using total number, and alternate measures like biomass or percent cover do not provide ecological insights.
4. Total number is an effective measure only in large populations; for small populations, alternative measures are irrelevant.
