Estimating mammalian species richness and occupancy in tropical forest canopies with arboreal camera traps (2017, background): “…achievable in perhaps 9 or 10 person-days after trail cutting, has been considered sufficient to extrapolate species richness from a single line (de Thoisy et al. 2008), the utility of such limited surveys is questionable, since cryptic and nocturnal species are typically overlooked and little…”
Rapid evaluation of threats to biodiversity: human footprint score and large vertebrate species responses in French Guiana (2010, background): “That sampling effort has been recognised as valid to estimate large vertebrate richness and the abundance of a set of target species identified as sensitive to habitat disturbance (de Thoisy et al. 2008): monkeys, large frugivorous birds, ungulates and large diurnal rodents.”
