Distance sampling: comparing walked transects and road transects for rock ptarmigan densities and population trends

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
We compared population trends for rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta densities (2003‒2019) derived from walked transects and driven road transects in Mosfellsheiði and Slétta in southwest and northeast Iceland, respectively. The walked transects were laid out according to a random rule.
