Visual encounters on line transect surveys under-detect carnivore species: Implications for assessing distribution and conservation status.

We compared the distribution and occurrence of 15 carnivore species with data collected monthly over three years by trained native trackers using both sign surveys and an encounter-based, visual-distance method in a well-preserved region of southern Guyana (Amazon / Guiana Shield).
