An assessment of indices of relative and absolute abundance for monitoring populations of small mammals (2004, methodology): “Regardless, some researchers suggested that indices of population size can be used in place of estimators in some cases (Caughley 1977, Conroy 1996, Slade and Blair 2000, McKelvey and Pearson 2001).”
The role of forest structure, fragment size and corridors in maintaining small mammal abundance and diversity in an Atlantic forest landscape (2005, methodology): “Since the sampled area and capture protocol were the same for all sites, the number of captured individuals was used as an index of relative abundance (Slade and Blair, 2000).”
PHILOPATRY IN PRAIRIE VOLES: AN EVALUATION OF THE HABITAT SATURATION HYPOTHESIS (2008, methodology): “To avoid the potential bias generated by using the minimum number known alive to calculate population density ( Slade and Blair 2000; Pocock et al. 2004), we used a robust design model (Huggins closed capture estimator—see Huggins 1989, 1991) within the computer program MARK (White and Burnham 1999”
THREE METHODS FOR ASSESSING RICHNESS AND COMPOSITION OF SMALL MAMMAL COMMUNITIES (2004, methodology): “We used number of individuals trapped within the 3 days as an index of abundance of small mammal species in each study plot (Slade and Blair 2000).”
Habitat heterogeneity, species diversity and null models (2005, background): “MNKA has been shown to accurately estimate population sizes (Cameron 1977, Nupp and Swihart 1996, Slade and Blair 2000).”
Small mammal abundance in Mediterranean post-fire habitats: a role for predators? (2004, methodology): “the number of different individuals trapped as an index of the abundance of each small mammal species in each study plot (Slade and Blair, 2000).”
