• Acoustic fish communities: sound diversity of rocky habitats reflects fish species diversity (2019, background): “…that can result in the misidentification of species; Thompson & Mapstone 1997) and errors in seeing and counting organisms (Thresher & Gunn 1986 , Williams et al. 2006) or in estimating their sizes (Edgar et al. 2004), (2) inadequate for detecting cryptic, elusive and nocturnal species (Willis…”
• Factors affecting the detection distances of reef fish: implications for visual counts (2011, background): “This is in agreement with studies that found observer bias in fish detection to be inconsistent and less important than other sources of bias (Thompson and Mapstone 1997; Mapstone and Ayling 1998; Edgar et al. 2004; Williams et al. 2006).”
