摘要: Environmental impact assessments (EIA) require that the proponent indicates potential a development will have on biodiversity of area. As part this assessment it is normal practice to inventory vertebrate species in We show here how accumulation curves can be used as tool by environmental consultants indicate adequacy their trapping effort and predict richness for disturbance site. The shape curve influenced number an assemblage proportional singletons (rarely caught species) survey sample. provide guidelines individuals need program achieve 80% 90% habitat, we adjusted accommodate variations relative abundance.
