Researchers have strongly favoured the line transect method for estimating elephant population with greater accuracy in order to boost conservation efforts. The study titled 'Reliable monitoring of ...

A group of researchers has ascertained that the road transect method is the most effective method to estimate vulture populations in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR), home to the southernmost, viable ...

Pollinators are declining rapidly, largely due to land conversion and intensification of agriculture. To mitigate their crisis, low-disturbance habitats, such as sown wildflower plantings, could ...

When sampling a population, the numbers of organisms are counted within a sample site, and then the results multiplied to estimate the total number in the entire habitat. Large animals and plants can ...

Censusing procedures that detect effects of habitat treatment on birds are outlined. We suggest that only relative values of bird species diversity, equitability, abundance, and species richness need ...

TIGER CENSUS Nagpur: The Tadoba and Andhari Tiger Reserve management is writing to the National Tiger Conservation Authority to withdraw the transect line methodology for tiger enumeration. Under this ...

The cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus) is a critically endangered primate, endemic to the tropical forests of Colombia. Population monitoring is essential to evaluate the success of conservation ...

Accurate abundance estimates of plant populations are fundamental to numerous ecological questions and for conservation. Estimating population parameters for rare or cryptic plant species, however, ...

subdivide an area into transects and perform a scientific study. use a magnetic compass to determine the N/S and E/W directions in the transect. grid the transect and transcribe the biotic and abiotic ...

A kite diagram shows the number of animals (or percentage cover for plants) against distance along a transect. A gradual change in the distribution of species across a habitat is called zonation. It ...
