Hatching and fledging times from grassland passerine nests
Accurate estimates of fledging age are needed in field studies to avoid inducing premature fledging or missing the fledging event. Both may lead to misinterpretation of nest fate. Correctly assessing nest fate and length of the nestling period can be critical for accurate calculation of nest survival rates. For researchers who mark nestlings, knowing the age at which their activities may cause you

Dealing with incomplete and variable detectability in multi-year, multi-site monitoring of ecological populations
An ecological monitoring program should be viewed as a component of a larger framework designed to advance science and/or management, rather than as a stand-alone activity. 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). Once such monitoring target

The new IASPEI standards for determining magnitudes from digital data and their relation to classical magnitudes
Why there is a need for measurement standards of magnitudes:
In October 2005, the Commission on Seismic Observation and Interpretation of the
International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth´s Interior (IASPEI) adopted
the summary recommendations made by the IASPEI Working Group on Magnitudes on new
measurement standards for widely used local, regional and teleseismic magnitude sc
