Undersampling bias: the null hypothesis for singleton species in tropical arthropod surveys
1. Frequency of singletons–species represented by single individuals–is anomalously high
in most large tropical arthropod surveys (average, 32%). 2. We sampled 5965 adult spiders …

Estimating mammalian species richness and occupancy in tropical forest canopies with arboreal camera traps
Large and medium‐bodied rainforest canopy mammals are typically surveyed using line
transects, but these are labour intensive and usually ignore nocturnal species. Camera traps …
