Sampling rare or elusive species : concepts, designs, and techniques for estimating population parameters

摘要: Information regarding population status and abundance of rare species plays a key role in resource management decisions. Ideally, data should be collected using statistically sound sampling methods, but by their very nature, or elusive pose difficult challenge. Sampling Rare Elusive Species describes the latest designs survey methods for reliably estimating occupancy, abundance, other parameters rare, elusive, otherwise hard-to-detect plants animals. It offers mixture theory application, with actual examples from terrestrial, aquatic, marine habitats around world. is first volume devoted entirely to this topic provides natural professionals suite innovative approaches gathering trend data. represents an invaluable reference world, including fish wildlife biologists, ecologists, biometricians, managers, all others whose work research involves species.
