Effects of species turnover on reserve site selection in a fragmented landscape
(SPRINGER, 2011)
Changes in species composition is an important process in many ecosystems but rarely considered in systematic reserve site selection. To test the influence of temporal variability in species composition on the establishment ...
Effects of detectability on estimates of geographic range size in bignonieae
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2008)
Extinction risk has not been evaluated for 96% of all described plant species. Given that the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation proposes preliminary conservation assessments of all described plant species by 2010, ...
Evaluation of species richness estimators in studies of diversity involving two larval digenean communities parasitizing snail hosts
(Springer, 2010-07)
The nonparametric estimators of species richness are some of the most widely used extrapolation methods in studies of biodiversity. These studies need relative large samples to achieve total diversity (including rare ...
Evaluation of methods for estimating macroinvertebrate species richness using individual stones in tropical streams
(Wiley-blackwellMaldenEUA, 2001)
Dependent species sampling models for spatial density estimation
(2017)
We consider a novel Bayesian nonparametric model for density estimation with an underlying spatial structure. The model is built on a class of species sampling models, which are discrete random probability measures that ...
Optimising sampling methods for small mammal communities in Neotropical rainforests
(2017-04-01)
Quantifying mammalian biodiversity is a critical yet daunting challenge, particularly in species-rich ecosystems. Non-volant small mammals account for >60% of the mammalian diversity and often require several survey methods ...
A predictive view of Bayesian clustering
(ELSEVIER, 2006)
This work considers probability models for partitions of a set of n elements using a predictive approach, i.e., models that are specified in terms of the conditional probability of either joining an already existing cluster ...
Incorporating the sampling effectiveness of detection dogs in the faecal standing crop method
(2020-08-01)
Evaluating the population status of elusive and rare species is a challenge for wildlife managers and conservationists. A promising method that has been used is faecal pellet counting applied to the faecal standing crop ...
