Dealing with incomplete and variable detectability in multi-year, multi-site monitoring of ecological populations Dealing with incomplete and variable detectability in multi-year, multi-site monitoring of ecological populations

Monitoring targets (the ecological variables of interest; e.g. abundance or occurrence of a species) should be set based on the needs of that framework (Nichols and Williams 2006; e.g. Chapters 2–4).
