Estimating wild bee population size with validated distance sampling
Distance Sampling is a promising method to estimate population size but has never been validated on insects. We validated it on a honey bee population of known size. We applied Distance Sampling to three insular pollinators and found that estimates are consistent across days, match species phenology and reflect the expected influence of weather ...
