A comparison of line‐transect distance sampling methods for estimating gopher tortoise population densities
ABSTRACT Line‐transect distance sampling (LTDS) is increasingly used to estimate gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) densities. The process requires detecting tortoise burrows, and then determining occupancy. We compared 3 LTDS approaches that differ in how burrow detection and occupancy data are...
