7.2 Monitoring Protocols
• Martin TE, Geupel GR. 1993. Nest-monitoring plots: methods for locating nests and monitoring success. J Field Ornithol. 64(4):507–519. Standardized methods and cues are described that aid in locating and monitoring nests of neotropical migratory birds to allow comparisons across studies in space and time. • Ralph CJ, Droege S, Sauer JR. 1995. Managing and monitoring birds using point counts: standards and applications. General Technical Report PSW-GTR-149. Arcata (CA): US Forest Service. A summary of suggested standards for consistency between studies using point counts during the breeding season to track population trends or determine associations between birds and their habitats. (http://www.fs.fed.us/psw/publications/ documents/psw_gtr149/psw_gtr149_pg161_168.pdf) • Ralph CJ, Sauer JR, Droege S, editors. 1997. Monitoring bird populations by point counts. General Technical Report PSW-GTR-149. Albany (CA): US Forest Service, Pacifc Southwest Research Station. Contains in part papers presented at the Symposium on Monitoring Bird Population Trends by Point Counts, which was held November 6–7, 1991, in Beltsville, MD, in response to the need for standardization of methods to mon- itor bird populations by point counts.

7.2.4 Mammals
• Boddicker J, Rodriguez JJ, Amanzo J. 2002. Indices for assessment and monitoring of large mammals within an adaptive management framework. Environ Monit Assess. 76:105–123. Examines the design, applicability and efectiveness of two indices applied within a framework of adaptive management. An occurrence index assesses the com- position and distribution of large mammals at a site, and an abundance index monitors the abundance of large mammals over time in relation to development. • Meyer J. 2006. Field methods for studying nutria. Wildl Soc Bull. 34(3):850–852. Methods used for live-trapping, handling, and marking animals strongly depend on the species considered and the circumstances at particular study sites. Tis paper provides a short overview on methods used for capturing and marking Nutrias, which may be appropri- ate for other aquatic mammals, and relates feld experiences of the author. • Yack TM, Barlow J, Rankin S, Gillespie D. 2009. Integration of automated detection methods into NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) acoustic marine mammal monitoring protocol. J Acoust Soc Am. 125(4):2588–2588. PAMGUARD 1.0 CORE software is evaluated for use in automated detection of cetacean acoustic signals. Tree diferent detector confgurations of PAMGUARD are evaluated.
