Estimating bird abundance: making methods work
In many bird monitoring surveys, no attempt is made to estimate bird densities or abundance. Instead, counts of one form or another are made, and these are assumed to correlate with bird density. Unless complete counts on sample plots are feasible, this approach can easily lead to false conclusions, because detectability of birds varies by species, habitat, observer and many other factors. Tren...
متن کاملComparison of removal-based methods for estimating abundance of five species of prairie songbirds
Estimating species abundance is important for land managers, especially for monitoring conservation efforts. The two main survey methods for estimating avian abundance are point counts and transects. Previous comparisons of these two methods have either been limited to a single species or have not included detection probability. During the 2012 breeding season, we compared and assessed the effi...
متن کاملSignificance and applications of sea cucumber
Sea cucumber is an important component of the food chain in temperate ecosystems and coral reefs and plays an important role as a poultry eater and has antiviral, anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties in addition to oral administration and in the pharmaceutical industry. It has many uses. This creature swallows sediment on the bottom of aquaculture ponds and is in fact considered as a natural p...
متن کاملPopulation Structure, Distribution and Abundance of Three Commercial Species of Sea Cucumber (Echinodermata) in Panama
—Overfishing due to high demand in Asian markets, have encouraged illegal fisheries of sea cucumbers in non-traditional areas of the tropical Caribbean. This work assesses the population structure, distribution, and abundance of three commercially important Caribbean species (Isostichopus badionotus, Holothuria mexicana, and Astichopus multifidus) in 47 158 hectares of shallow habitats in Bocas...
متن کاملRevisiting methods for estimating parrot abundance and population size
Estimating abundance and population size is essential for many ecological and conservation studies of parrots. Achieving these goals requires methods that yield reliable estimates, but parrot traits canmake them difficult to detect, count, and capture. We review established and emergent sampling and analytical methods used to estimate parrot abundance and population size, focusing on their assu...
