| Summary |
"Authored by a leading team Advanced Distance Sampling is aimed at professionals in government an environment agencies, statisticians, biologists, wildlife managers, conservation biologists and ecologists, as well as graduate students, studying the density and abundance of biological populations. It is the follow up companion to Introduction to Distance Sampling (Oxford University Press, 2001) and covers recent methodologies, technologies and developments. A general theoretical basis is established for methods of estimating animal abundance from sightings surveys, and a wide range of approaches to analysis of sightings data is explored."--BOOK JACKET |
