N-mixture models reliably estimate the abundance of small vertebrates

N-mixture models reliably estimate the abundance of small vertebrates

Abstract Accurate measures of species abundance are essential to identify conservation strategies. N-mixture models are increasingly used to estimate abundance on the basis of species counts. In this study we tested whether abundance estimates obtained using N-mixture models provide consistent resul...
