"Watershed inventories and population monitoring are essential components of efforts to conserve and recover freshwater mussel diversity. Since 2002, a quadrat-based sampling protocol has been used to monitor the status, distribution, and demographics of mussel species at risk in southern Ontario rivers. However, low population densities, typical of most mussel species at risk, limit the effectiveness of the current protocol to support monitoring objectives. In this study, simulation-based methods (computer program SAMPLE) were used to evaluate whether adaptive clustering sampling could improve single-species monitoring”--Abstract, p. iv.
