Inferences About Landbird Abundance from Count Data: Recent Advances and Future Directions (2009, background): “Detailed advice on survey design and field methods is given in Buckland et al. (2001, Chapter 7) and Strindberg et al. (2004), and recommendations specifically oriented to landbird studies are given in Buckland (2006).”
Estimating bird abundance: making methods work (2008, methodology): “Buckland (2006) trialled cue counts from points for four species of songbird, and concluded that the method was workable for specialist surveys of single species, but that it would not be workable for large multi-species surveys.”
Estimating animal population density using passive acoustics (2012, background): “Cue counting has also been applied to aural surveys of birds from points, where the cue is each individual call or song detected (e.g. Buckland, 2006).”
Bird functional diversity enhances insectivory at forest edges: a transcontinental experiment (2014, background): “Linear transects were preferred over point-counts in France, because we expected lower bird densities in pine plantations and transects are more efficient at sampling birds at low densities (Buckland, 2006).”
In Defense of Indices: The Case of Bird Surveys (2008, methodology): “Rarely was the true population known, although estimates based on marked birds, active nests found, other more-intensive surveys such as territory mapping, or a combination of these are taken to be close to the true value (DeSante 1986, Tarvin et al. 1998, Buckland 2006).”
Estimating bird density using passive acoustic monitoring: a review of methods and suggestions for further research (2021, background): “Similarly, for before applying cue counting, researchers should have previously estimated an unbiased average cue rate at which individuals vocalize (Buckland 2006, Lambert & McDonald 2014).”
