Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 2001 Summary We consider the method of distance sampling described by Buckland, Anderson, Burnham and Laake in 1993. We explore the properties of the methodology in simple cases chosen to allow direct and accessible comparisons of distance sampling in the design- and model-based frameworks.

Distance sampling with camera traps [PDF]
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 SummaryReliable estimates of animal density and abundance are essential for effective wildlife conservation and management. Camera trapping has proven efficient for sampling multiple species, but statistical estimators of density from camera trapping data for species that cannot be individually identified are still in development.We extend point ...

SAMPLING VARIANCES OF HETEROZYGOSITY AND GENETIC DISTANCE [PDF]
Genetics, 1974 ABSTRACT Mathematical formulae for the sampling variances of average heterozygosity and Nei's genetic distance are developed. These sampling variances are decomposed into their two components, i.e. the inter-locus and intra-locus variances. The relationship between the number of loci and the number of individuals per locus to be examined

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Distance sampling is widely used to estimate animal population densities by accounting for imperfect detection of individuals with increasing distance from an observer.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Over the last 20 years, ecological restoration of degraded habitats has become common in conservation practice. Mountain hares (Lepus timidus scoticus) were surveyed during 2017–2021 using 830 km of line transects in the Peak District National Park ...

A method for estimating songbird abundance with drones
Drone Systems and Applications, 2022 Using drones to conduct airborne bioacoustics surveys is a potentially useful new way to estimate the abundance of vocal bird species. Here we show that by using two audio recorders suspended from a quadcopter drone it is possible to estimate distances ...

Long‐term monitoring of wildlife populations for protected area management in Southeast Asia
Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 Long‐term monitoring of biodiversity in protected areas (PAs) is critical to assess threats, link conservation action to species outcomes, and facilitate improved management. Yet, rigorous longitudinal monitoring within PAs is rare.

Assessment and novel application of N‐mixture models for aerial surveys of wildlife
Ecosphere, 2021 Aerial surveys are a critical tool for inference of wildlife populations, yet are limited by current available methods to account for imperfect detection without marking animals.

Greedy $k$-Center From Noisy Distance Samples [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks, 2021 We study a variant of the canonical k-center problem over a set of vertices in a metric space, where the underlying distances are apriori unknown. Instead, we can query an oracle which provides noisy/incomplete estimates of the distance between any pair of vertices.

Depth of Edge Influence in a Madagascar Lowland Rainforest and Its Effects on Lemurs’ Abundance
Land, 2022 Edge effects result from interactions between adjacent habitats, which can modify abiotic and biotic conditions and produce various negative effects on biodiversity.
