An easily implemented single‐visit survey method for intermittently available and imperfectly detectable wildlife applied to the Florida east coast diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin tequesta)
Abstract Single‐visit surveys of plots are often used for estimating the abundance of species of conservation concern. Less‐than‐perfect availability and detection of individuals can bias estimates if not properly accounted for. We developed field methods and a Bayesian model that accounts for avail...
