Monitoring the distribution of pond‐breeding amphibians when species are detected imperfectly (2005, methodology): “The analysis was restricted to three anuran species (midwife toad Alytes obstetricans, the yellow-bellied toad Bombina variegata and the natterjack toad Bufo calamita) that were searched for using common call survey methods and visual searches (Lepage et al., 1997; Crouch and Paton, 2002; Buckley an”
The amphibian decline crisis: A watershed for conservation biology? (2005, methodology): “In a recent application of the MacKenzie et al. (2002) method with call surveys for four species of European anurans, Pellet and Schmidt (2005) showed that multiple (up to six) visits to each site were needed to establish presence or absence of three species with high confidence.”
The science and application of ecological monitoring (2010, methodology): “013 individual biotic species or chemical element (Martin et al., 2007; Pellet and Schmidt, 2005; Yoccoz et al., 2001), (3) optimization of field methods and statistical design (e.”
An empirical evaluation of the area and isolation paradigm of metapopulation dynamics (2007, methodology): “The conspicuous calling behavior of breeding males makes them easy to detect and thus counts of breeding males are the preferred monitoring technique (Heyer et al., 1994; Carlson and Edenhamn, 2000; Pellet and Schmidt, 2005).”
Accounting for detectability improves estimates of species richness in tropical bat surveys (2011, background): “With some species having characteristically low detection probabilities and a limited number of visits per site, estimation-based approaches to monitoring are essential as they allow formal detectability corrections in species richness comparisons (Pellet & Schmidt 2005).”
Auditory monitoring of anuran populations (2009, background): “as well as some European (e.g. Anthony 2002; Pellet and Schmidt 2005; Schmidt 2005; Scott et al. 2008), and Central American countries (e.”
Making Great Leaps Forward: Accounting for Detectability in Herpetological Field Studies (2007, methodology): “For instance, Schmidt (2005) and Pellet and Schmidt (2005) used site occupancy models on different call survey data of Natterjack Toads (Bufo calamita) to estimate mean detectability as 27.3% and 44.2%, respectively.”
Best practice guidelines for surveys and monitoring of great ape populations (2008, methodology): “Occupancy methods (e.g., MacKenzie and Royle 2005; Pellet and Schmidt 2005; Buij et al. 2007) use the fraction of sampling units, such as point transects, in which a species is present to make inferences about a species occurrence, range, distribution, and habitat selection.”
Accounting for uncertainty when mapping species distributions: The need for maps of ignorance (2011, background): “…on all target species due to differences in detectability, insufficient sampling effort, inadequacy of sampling techniques, geographic (i.e. positional) inaccuracy and collection bias (see Hortal and Lobo, 2005; Pellet and Schmidt, 2005; Soberón and Peterson, 2004; Yoccoz et al., 2001).”
Improved detection of an alien invasive species through environmental DNA barcoding: the example of the American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus (2012, methodology): “Calling surveys are one of the most popular methods (e.g. Pellet & Schmidt 2005; de Solla et al. 2005; Weir et al. 2005), because male vocalizations to attract females are easily identifiable, making their detection and identification relatively simple when weather conditions are favourable (e.g.…”
Assessing the performance of a semi‐automated acoustic monitoring system for primates (2015, background): “Still, passive acoustic monitoring has been applied to a range of taxa, including anurans (Pellet & Schmidt 2005), bats (MacSwiney et al. 2008; Walters et al. 2012), birds (Swiston & Mennill 2009; Digby et al. 2013), elephants (Payne, Thompson & Kramer 2003) and insects (Chesmore & Ohya 2004).”
Needles in haystacks: Estimating detection probability and occupancy of rare and cryptic snakes (2011, background): “, 2006), and for four anuran species in Switzerland (0.743, 0.568, 0.438 and 0.288; Pellet and Schmidt, 2005), though all taxonomic groups show interspecific variation in detectability (Magurran and Henderson, 2003).”
