Abstract:Two methods namely, short strip transect count(SSTC)and point count(PC),were evaluated to select a robust method of estimating bird diversity on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science, a man-made ecosystem. For bird species/h(PC=6.7,SSTC=3.0) and the number of birds/km2h (PC=184.7,SSTC=40.3),The PC method encountered more species and individuals in relatively shorter time. The mean number of sightings and species per minute (sightings:PC=1.31,SE=0.08,SSTC=0.9,SE=0.07,species:PC=1.09, SE=0.06 and … Show more
