TextPublication details: London ; New York : Chapman & Hall, 1993Edition: 1st edDescription: xii, 446 p. : illISBN: 0412426609; 0412426706 (pbk.); 9780412426704Subject(s): Animal populations | Sampling (Statistics)DDC classification: 591.5248

Contents:

1. Introductory concepts -- 2. Assumptions and modelling philosophy -- 3. Statistical theory -- 4. Line transects -- 5. Point transects -- 6. Extensions and related work -- 7. Study design and field methods -- 8. Illustrative examples -- Appendix A List of common and scientific names cited -- Appendix B Notation and abbreviations, and their definitions.

Summary: one can choose a point instead and measure the radial distances of the animals detected. This book is a must for all those involved in estimating animal abundance as the methods can be used for such a wide variety of animal species including birds and marine mammals.
