Citations in the corpus
- The geometric mean of relative abundance indices : a biodiversity measure with a difference (2011, methodology): “We consider data from the British Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) for the years 1994–2008 (Newson et al. 2005, 2008, Freeman et al. 2007).”
- How many birds are there in a city of half a million people? (2009, background): “Declines in urban habitats have been less severe, although comparable long-term data are lacking because urban habitats were poorly covered before the advent of a national UK Breeding Bird Survey in 1994 (Newson et al., 2005).”
- Urban bird declines and the fear of cats (2007, background): “In contrast, density estimates of common urban songbird species in the UK range from an average of o20 to more than 300 individuals km 2 (Dunnock Prunella modularis=15, Blackbird Turdus merula=104, Starling S. vulgaris=223, House Sparrow P. domesticus=345 individuals km 2, Newson et al., 2005).”
- Local frequency as a key to interpreting species occurrence data when recording effort is not known (2012, background): “Some volunteers can be persuaded to engage in standardized monitoring or recording programmes (Newson et al. 2005; Roy, Rothery, & Brereton 2007), but most cannot.”
- In Defense of Indices: The Case of Bird Surveys (2008, background): “Several techniques, however, may prove useful in individual research studies involving a limited number of species, and in some instances, separating detections of birds into 2 distance categories has been useful (Newson et al. 2005, Cunningham and Johnson 2006).”
