False. Mark–recapture is not always more effective — it relies on assumptions (closed population, marks not affecting behavior/survival, random mixing, sufficient recaptures) and can be impractical or biased for some species. Simple sampling (quadrats, transects) can be better for sessile organisms, dense populations, or when marking is harmful or infeasible.
