Estimation of avian biodiversity is a cornerstone measure ecosystem condition. Surveys conducted using autonomous recorders are often more efficient at estimating diversity than traditional point-count surveys. However, there limited research into the optimal temporal resolution for sampling—the trade-off between number samples and sample duration when sampling survey window with fixed effort—d...

Researchers routinely quantify the behaviour of subsets animals, using their findings to make inferences about wider populations. Broader conclusions, however, may be inaccurate if subjects that are tested not representative these One way this can arise is through sampling bias, which occur method collecting test disproportionately selects those with particular attributes, such they end up bein...
