Temporal patterns of three sympatric pheasant species in the Nanling Mountains: N-mixture modeling applied to detect abundance
Abstract Background The reliability of long-term population estimates is crucial for conservation and management purposes. Most previous studies assume that count indices are proportionally related to abundance; however, this assumption may not hold when detection varies spatially and temporally. We...
