King Rail (Rallus elegans) response to audio playback: implications for population estimation, monitoring methodology, and trapping approach

Conspecific audio can be broadcast to improve detection probability (detectability) of secretive marsh bird species for population monitoring purposes and as a lure to more effectively trap individuals. Our primary objective was to describe King Rail (Rallus elegans) detectability as a function of d...
