Observer aging and long-term avian survey data quality
Long-term wildlife monitoring involves collecting time series data, often using the same observers over multiple years. Aging-related changes to these observers may be an important, under-recognized source of error that can bias management decisions. In this study, we used data from two large, independent bird surveys, the Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Ontario ("OBBA") and the North American B...
متن کاملObserver Effects and Avian-Call-Count Survey Quality: Rare-Species Biases and Overconfidence
—Wildlife monitoring surveys are prone to nondetection errors and false positives. To determine factors that affect the incidence of these errors, we built an Internet-based survey that simulated avian point counts, and measured error rates among volunteer observers. Using similar-sounding vocalizations from paired rare and common bird species, we measured the effects of species rarity and obse...
متن کاملQuality of life and longterm survival after intensive care discharge.
From 1st January 1986 till 31st December 1986; 273 patients were treated in the Intensive Care Ward. The mortality in the Intensive Care Unit was 24.5%, mortality of patients 60 years and above was 35%. Of 187 patients who had survived, only 105 (56.2%) responded to the questionnaire, 39 (20.9%) did not respond and 43 (23.0%) could not be traced. Of the total discharged alive, 95 (51.9%) surviv...
متن کاملAging of different avian cultured cells: lack of ROS-induced damage and quality control mechanisms.
Elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels have been observed in mammals during aging, implying an important role of ROS in the aging process. Most bird species are known to live longer and to contain lower ROS levels than mammals of the same body weight. The influence of ROS on the aging process of birds has been investigated using pigeon embryonic fibroblasts (PEF) and chicken embryonic fi...
متن کاملData Quality in the Therapeutic Abortion Survey
The Therapeutic Abortion Survey was originally designed to measure all legally induced abortions performed in Canada (and to the extent possible, abortions performed in the US on Canadian residents prior to 2004). Statistics Canada was responsible for the survey up to the 1994 data year. As of the 1995 data year, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) assumed data collection, comp...
