The interpretation of aerial surveys for seabirds : some effects of behaviour / A.J. Gaston, G.E.J. Smith. : CW69-1/53E-PDF
"Aerial surveys have been used extensively to observe the distribution and abundance of marine birds at sea. Although biases caused by weather and sea conditions, aircraft type, and the state and experience of the observer have been discussed by others, little has been done to interpret the effect of biological variables inherent in the behaviour of the birds. In this paper we explore five ways in which the analysis of aerial survey data can enhance our understanding of seabird distributions compared with inspection of the raw data alone"--Abstract.
