The static model sampling strip for investigating observer bias in aerial surveys

Describes methods of assessing spotting or sighting bias in low-level aerial observations, with emphasis on an approach based on a static model sampling strip; includes data on the relative advantages of counting through perspex or open windows, and the efficiency of pilot/observers in comparison to...
