Description
Summary:This paper is a generalization of the standard check method presented earlier. It describes methods for calculating the efficiency of animal population surveys (i.e. the chance for discovery of an individual present during the survey), when the population fluctuates. Methods for estimating migration during the survey period are also described, and statistical procedures for assessing individual differences in conspicuousness are given. The methods are based on material from repeated surveys of the population.
