In animal surveys, detectability can vary widely across species. We hypothesized that detectability of animals should be a function of species traits such as mass, color, and mean herd size. We also ...

1. Species richness is a state variable of some interest in monitoring programmes but raw species counts are often biased due to imperfect species detectability. Therefore, monitoring programmes ...

Risk management involves a three-step procedure: hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk mitigation in case of unacceptable risk levels. In fact, the hazard identification process should ...
