Effective area? – No Problem: bread & butter to Distance Samplers!
- This is just MRDS Point Transect Survey
- … but with lots of points, (and sometimes
counts instead of 0/1 data)

is the area effectively sampled by detectors
(if animal density constant in space).
Problem: Don’t observe distance, only
- bserve capture location
- But locations of captures/non-captures
contains information about detection probability and location/distance.
- Like a multiple-point point transect survey
with errors in distance estimation.

- Mark-recapture with distance detection function
(and unknown distance)
- R library secr on CRAN (Murray Efford)
- Also Bayesian software
