• Imperfect detection is the rule rather than the exception in plant distribution studies (2013, background): “Trained botanists recorded more species in plant inventories than untrained ones (Ahrends et al. 2011).”
• Targeted vertebrate surveys enhance the faunal importance and improve explanatory models within the Eastern Arc Mountains of Kenya and Tanzania (2014, methodology): “…of forest (r = 0.853, P < 0.001); (4) estimated forest loss during 1955–2000 (Hall et al., 2009); and (5) human disturbance, derived from disturbance data collected along approximately 500 km of 10-m-wide transects that recorded cutting of trees and poles, and compiled by Ahrends et al. (2011b).”
