Estimating statistical power to evaluate ongoing waterfowl population monitoring
Article Abstract:
Monitoring studies tend not to consider that they might not detect trends that exist. Retrospective power analysis is an effective way of achieving such an assessment. This analysis has been applied to survey design and population trends for the Canadian Wildlife Survey's waterfowl surveys as well as others carried out in the Riske Creek areain British Colombia. Repeated surveying can increase the power of a survey though there are diminishing returns after four surveys.
