the width of the count transect

The count area was determined using the width of the count transect and the
length of survey routes. The total length of
survey routes at study plots was 424.79 km,
averaging 8.5±5.12 km per plot.

At width of the count transect of 1.5 km the density was. 0.72 pair/100 km of the route or 0.48 pair/100 km2. Administrative. Region. Known. breeding. territories.

A transect is a path along which one counts and records occurrences of the objects of study (e.g. plants).

There are several types of transect. Some are more effective than others.

It requires an observer to move along a fixed path and to count occurrences along the path and, at the same time (in some procedures), obtain the distance of the object from the path. This results in an estimate of the area covered and an estimate of the way in which detectability increases from probability 0 (far from the path) towards 1 (near the path). Using the raw count and this probability function, one can arrive at an estimate of the actual density of objects.


Transects being used to measure the changes around the boundary of a grassland fire near Backhouse Tarn, Tasmania.
The estimation of the abundance of populations (such as terrestrial mammal species) can be achieved using a number of different types of transect methods, such as strip transects, line transects, belt transects, point transects and curved line transects.

Thank you, Igor.
neutral Vera Klink : As a field biologist, I know about "line transects", "point-counts", and even "point-count transects". But I've never heard of a "count transect"...

Thank you, Vera. I used the phraseology of a field biologist.

width of the line transect

The methodology you described sounds like the line transect method, a type of distance sampling. This is probably the most common sampling method used in ornithological surveys.

Line transects use the perpendicular distances to individual sightings to model a detection function, which quantifies the probability of observing an object given its distance from the trackline. This approach allows for species-specific differences in detectability (e.g. small-sized vs. large-bodied taxa) under a variety of behavioral (e.g. flying vs. sitting on the water) and environmental conditions. The resulting perpendicular sighting distributions are then used to estimate the surface area effectively searched during surveys.
