Randomly placed, straight line transects can pose many practical challenges. In dense tropical forests, for example, cutting straight-line transects can be time-consuming and expensive, particularly ...

A model is given for line transect sampling for the purpose of estimating animal population density which makes no assumption about the value of the detection probability along the transect or about ...

Assessing commercial broiler chickens' welfare usually comes at the cost of reduced precision due to the large flock sizes and required time commitments. The transect method for on-farm welfare ...

Censusing procedures that detect effects of habitat treatment on birds are outlined. We suggest that only relative values of bird species diversity, equitability, abundance, and species richness need ...

Current scientific approaches to welfare assessment in broilers are based on individual sampling that can be time-consuming under field conditions, according to J. Marchewka of Neiker-Tecnalia, ...

Abstract: Determination of optimal sampling transects and pollutants for river sediments are essential and valuable. To determine if the concentration of some metals were highly correlated, ...

In this project, we used measurements of the magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) content of natural calcite crystals from deep-sea sediments to infer the thermodynamics of how the Mg/Ca ratio of calcite ...
