We summarize results of a November 2006 workshop dealing with recent research on the
estimation of landbird abundance from count data. Our conceptual framework includes a …

The application of remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies
provides powerful tools when used to investigate wildlife and its habitat for an analysis or …

This is the fourth book dedicated to distance sampling. The first (Buckland et al. 1993)
appeared at around the same time as the first version of the Distance software (Laake et al …

With the advance of methods for estimating species distribution models has come an interest
in how to best combine datasets to improve estimates of species distributions. This has …

Occupancy Estimation and Modeling: Inferring Patterns and Dynamics of Species
Occurrence, Second Edition, provides a synthesis of model-based approaches for analyzing …

We describe an approach for estimating occupancy rate or the proportion of area occupied
when heterogeneity in detection probability exists as a result of variation in abundance of …

Many authors have suggested that the negative effects of roads on animals are largely
owing to traffic noise. Although suggestive, most past studies of the effects of road noise on …

This advanced text focuses on the uses of distance sampling to estimate the density and
abundance of biological populations. It addresses new methodologies, new technologies …

World leaders have set global and regional targets to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss by
2010, and their relative success, or failure, in meeting these aims will be measured against a …

In Chapter 1, we saw how it was possible to use simple methods to assess the species
composition in an area and to give an idea of their relative abundances. Here, we consider …
