Population Size Influences Amphibian Detection Probability: Implications for Biodiversity Monitoring Programs
Monitoring is an integral part of species conservation. Monitoring programs must take imperfect detection of species into account in order to be reliable. Theory suggests that detection probability may be determined by population size but this relationship has not yet been assessed empirically. Population size is particularly important because it may induce heterogeneity in detection probabilit...
متن کاملEgg-laying sequence influences egg mercury concentrations and egg size in three bird species: Implications for contaminant monitoring programs.
Bird eggs are commonly used in contaminant monitoring programs and toxicological risk assessments, but intraclutch variation and sampling methodology could influence interpretability. The authors examined the influence of egg-laying sequence on egg mercury concentrations and burdens in American avocets, black-necked stilts, and Forster's terns. The average decline in mercury concentrations betw...
متن کاملOptimizing occupancy surveys by maximizing detection probability: application to amphibian monitoring in the Mediterranean region
Setting up effective conservation strategies requires the precise determination of the targeted species' distribution area and, if possible, its local abundance. However, detection issues make these objectives complex for most vertebrates. The detection probability is usually <1 and is highly dependent on species phenology and other environmental variables. The aim of this study was to define a...

متن کاملAnalysis of Amphibian Biodiversity Data
In this chapter I discuss problems of use, misuse, and problematical interpretation of data, specifically for amphibian biologists. I focus on statistical procedures that are appropriate for amphibian sampling and monitoring and consider limiting factors and assumptions of statistical models in terms suitable for observational and other studies. The number of formulas I present is negligible, a...
