Sentence examples for detectability bias from inspiring English sources

One possible exception to the lack of detectability bias in these analyses would occur if the extent of interspecific differences in detectability varied across habitats (e.g., if the proportional detectability differences between species changed across habitats).

If birds are harder to detect in some habitats than in others (e.g., because of differences in the density of vegetation), then among-habitat differences in bird abundance may be obscured or magnified, depending on the direction of the detectability bias.

First, the initial rate of species accumulation was similar across habitats (Figure 1) and, second, our species rarefaction curves approached saturation (Figure 1), suggesting that detectability biases were not driving the differences in evenness in our study.

Because presence of DCIS may bias the detectability of an associated IDC lesion, we chose in this study to focus on the biological characteristics – Ki-67, nodal status, and receptor expression – of similarly sized IDC with or without DCIS.

There is certainly subgenome bias in the detectability of CNSs.

However, we are skeptical that it would solve the problem of collection site bias for low-detectability species such as the Indian Python.

Without accounting for this factor, the bias caused by animal detectability and behaviour (e.g. drawn towards the diver) that exists in instantaneous surveys may be compounded by methodological bias and could lead to unrealistic density, biomass, and community descriptions.

We use biotelemetry to test if the disparate recovery is biased by differences in detectability in the monitored section of the rookery, and if the reserve confers equal protection.

Therefore, our measures of richness and evenness are likely not biased by differences in detectability.

Therefore, DISTANCE estimates will be less biased by variations in detectability than will counts made within a fixed radius.

As is the case for any census methodology, differences in abundances between species may be biased by their differential detectability.
