Of power and despair in cetacean conservation: estimation and detection of trend in abundance with noisy and short time-series

Many conservation instruments rely on detecting and estimating a population decline in a target species to take action. Trend estimation is difficult because of small sample size and relatively large uncertainty in abundance/density estimates of many wild populations of animals. Focusing on cetacean...
