Use of aerial distance sampling to estimate abundance of tule elk across a gradient of canopy cover and comparison to a concurrent fecal DNA spatial capture-recapture survey
Historically, aerial surveys have been used widely to monitor abundance of large mammals in the western United States. In California, such surveys have typically served as minimum count indices rather than true abundance estimates. Here, we evaluated the utility of aerial multiple covariate distance...
