appeared at around the same time as the first version of the Distance software (Laake et al …

Over the last decade, the study of shark biology has benefited from the development,
refinement, and rapid expansion of novel techniques and advances in technology. These …

Aerial surveys are often used to estimate wildlife abundance. The probability of detecting an
animal during a survey involves two processes:(1) availability bias when animals present in …

Distance sampling is widely used to estimate animal population densities by accounting for
imperfect detection of individuals with increasing distance from an observer. Distance …

While extreme climatic events (ECE s) are predicted to become more frequent, reliably
predicting their impacts on consumers remains challenging, particularly for large consumers …

A standard approach to improving the accuracy of reef fish population estimates derived
from underwater visual censuses (UVCs) is the application of species-specific correction …

Transect surveys are frequently used to estimate distribution and abundance of species
across a landscape, yet a proportion of individuals present will be missed because either …

Animal-borne biologgers or biotelemetry systems are commonly used to study the
movements and behavior of large aquatic taxa. However, the effects of the tag deployment …

For most of their lifetime, sea turtles have to organize their underwater activities around the
necessity to return to the surface to breathe. This group of animals has developed …
