PRELIMINARY ESTIMATION OF PENGUIN BREEDING ABUNDANCE AT SPATIAL-SCALES OF RELEVANCE TO CCAMLR: INCORPORATING UNCERTAINTY IN COUNT DATA
Abstract: One recommendation from the Predator Survey workshop was the undertaking of some ... estimation of SSMU-specific gentoo and Adélie breeding abundance in Area 48, and similar analyses of east ... for availability (e.g. nest failure) and hence would to some extent be biased estimates of the ... breeding population, and would only account for uncertainty in the accuracy of the count data. However, the ...
