You are conducting a survey of common pill bugs in the field and place markings on them. Unbeknownst to you, a majority of the pill bugs molt (losing their markings) between mark and recapture. How could this affect your estimate of population size?
Fewer marked pill bugs are likely to be recaptured so population size will be overestimated
Fewer marked pill bugs are likely to be recaptured so population size will be underestimated
Fewer unmarked pill bugs are likely to be recaptured so population size will be overestimated
There will be no change in population size reported
