Long-term monitoring of the abundance of bird and mammal species encountered daily on Akimiski Island, Nunavut
A daily record of birds seen has been made on Akimiski since 1993 when goose ecology research began. Observers record all species and either exact or estimated numbers, depending on the observer's skill level. A collective recording of the daily checklist is made each evening. The relative abun...

A daily record of birds seen has been made on Akimiski since 1993 when goose ecology research began. Observers record all species and either exact or estimated numbers, depending on the observer's skill level. A collective recording of the daily checklist is made each evening. The relative abundance of species is analyzed as the proportion of days on which it was sighted and the daily average number of individuals seen. Observers also record any mammal species encountered in the field and the number of individuals observed and this is recorded in a log. To correct for any potential biases the activities and mode of transportation of observers is also taken into account.
