Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 1325–1337 Abstract There is a growing view that to make
efficient use of resources, ecological monitoring should be hypothesis‐driven and targeted …

Long‐term systematic population monitoring data sets are rare but are essential in
identifying changes in species abundance. In contrast, community groups and natural …

In many countries, bats have high conservation prioritisation owing to their trophic position,
habitat associations and threat level, and many have dedicated management plans …

Models of species distributions are increasingly being used to address a variety of problems
in conservation biology. In many applications, perfect or constant detectability of species …

Aim Fire can strongly influence ecosystem function, and human activities are disrupting fire
activity at the global scale. Ecological theory and a growing body of literature suggest that a …

The global climate is changing faster than previously anticipated. Although scientists expect
cumulatively deleterious impacts to birds and other wildlife, effects on individual species are …

A review is being conducted by the Partners in Flight (PIF) Monitoring Working Group,
building on earlier work by Moser (2000), of existing programs whose goal is to collect …

A primary objective of ecological monitoring programs typically includes the efficient
