Considerations for monitoring population trends of colonial waterbirds using the effective number of breeders and census estimates
Abstract Detecting trends in population size fluctuations is a major focus in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Populations of colonial waterbirds have been monitored using demographic approaches to determine annual census size (Na). We propose the addition of genetic estimates of the ef...
