Detectability of individual animals is highly variable and nearly always < 1; imperfect detection must be accounted for to reliably estimate population sizes and trends. Hierarchical models can simultaneously estimate ...

Four bat detectors were used, D-980 Pettersson, SKYE, and 2 QMC Mini. We made acoustic recordings of bats within the town of Brno, Czech Republic (230 km2, 350,000 inhabitants), from March till October 1993. The same habitat ...

Bees were collected with water traps. Two pairs of bowls were set out per site,with members within a pair separated by 20 cm and pairs separated by 5 ill. Collected a total of 256 samples. Unscented liquid soap was used ...

Conducted a pilot study consisting of informal collections across the Vancouver metropolitan area from April to September of 2000. The primary study was conducted from March to August 2001, cut into five seasons: late ...

Stream location and salamander count data from a study conducted on the Nantahala National Forest, North Carolina, USA. Also provided is an R script for conducting the analyses described in the manuscript. See manuscript ...

All spontaneous species in the city of Halle (Saale) were mapped within several years by J. Stolle and S. Klotz; added by information on species sighted within the city by other botanists and added by herbarium data.

Used echolocation call detectors (n = 378 detector-nights from November 2005 to October 2006) to assess bat activity among different sites in the Adelaide City parklands, temporal variations in activity (hourly, nightly, ...

Mist-netting was the survey technique over ultrasound-sensing because netting allowed for the elimination of repeat captures, which was required for statistical independence, and allowed for the determination of age ratios, ...

Cities represent an important threat to biodiversity at different scales. Nevertheless, little is known on the processes underlying such effects. In this paper we describe bird diversity, structure, and composition patterns ...

For birds in urban environments, the configuration of local habitat within the landscape may be as critical as the composition of the local habitat itself. We examined the relative importance of environmental attributes ...

The availability of water is arguably the most important landscape factor, particularly in arid climates. Homeowner decisions regarding irrigation are likely to have a direct effect on bird species richness. Previous ...

Urban landscapes are expanding rapidly and are reshaping the distribution of many animal and plant species. With these changes, the need to understand and to include urban biodiversity patterns in research and management ...
