Distance Sampling: Methods and Applications

Part of the book series: Methods in Statistical Ecology ((MISE))

Abstract

Distance sampling methods have been successfully applied to estimate density or abundance of populations of a large variety of taxa ranging across many habitats. These are typically very cost-effective methods, especially for species which occur at low densities over large areas. Methods are nonetheless not a panacea, and in many circumstances, assumption violation, and hence bias, might be severe.
