Abstract:
... Soundscape mapping provides a unique perspective to explain the complicated spatial-temporal change of bird activities in urban forests. Most studies of soundscapes have used multi-point distribution to record sounds, which is challenging for explaining complex interferences factors in urban areas. In this study, we used soundscape mapping to explore the habitat selection of bird communities in th ...

Abstract:
... Some environmental studies use non-probabilistic sampling designs to draw samples from spatially distributed populations. Unfortunately, these samples can be difficult to analyse statistically and can give biased estimates of population characteristics. Spatially balanced sampling designs are probabilistic designs that spread the sampling effort evenly over the resource. These designs are particul ...
