Distance sampling vs. plot sampling for monitoring population abundances of the Pyrenean rock ptarmigan
2020
Overview
The rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) has a wide Holarctic geographical range, within which its status changes locally from threatened to abundant. For the correct management of populations under differing scenarios, accurate and precise estimates of bird abundances and/or densities are required. We used geolocated datasets from 56 counts of singing males carried out in 2003–2017 to estimate the density of Pyrenean rock ptarmigans (Lagopus muta pyrenaica). We analysed these datasets using two methodologies: (1) a plot sampling (PS) approach with two effective detection ranges (EDR) of 250 m and 350 m and (2) a conventional distance sampling (DS) approach. Our results showed that the density estimates obtained by DS were more precise and 30–87% higher than those obtained by PS using 250 m and 350 m EDR. Monitoring with PS underestimates populations and is less precise than DS; this bias is magnified when high EDR values are used. The monitoring of the Pyrenean rock ptarmigan could be significantly improved with greater use of the DS method.
