Online workshop: distance sampling when animals are missed at zero distance, 14-16th August 2023Info Location Contact Event Information
DescriptionConventional distance sampling methods assume that all animals at zero distance are detected with certainty. However, in some situations this assumption is violated, and some animals are missed, causing a negative bias in the density and abundance estimates. In this two-day workshop, we cover survey protocols and analytical methods for dealing with both perception bias and availability bias. The workshop is intended for those already familiar with the basics of distance sampling.For more inforamtion please go to our website. https://workshops.distancesampling.org/mrds-aug-2023
