Comparing detectability patterns of bird species using multi-method occupancy modelling

Abstract A robust knowledge of biodiversity distribution is essential for designing and developing effective conservation actions. The choice of a suitable sampling method is key to obtaining sufficiently accurate information of species distribution and consequently to improve biodiversity conservat...
