Assessing the effects of survey-inherent disturbance on primate detectability: Recommendations for line transect distance sampling Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
Habitat destruction and over-hunting are increasingly threatening the arboreal primates of Central Africa. To establish effective conservation strategies, accurate assessments of primate density, abundance, and spatial distribution are required. To date, the method of choice for primate density estimation is line transect distance sampling. However, primates fleeing human observers violate methodological assumptions, biasing the accuracy of ...
