Bioacoustics potential as a tool for counting diffcult-to-access species : The case of the rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta)
Population censuses of male rock ptarmigans (Lagopus muta) are conducted by point count protocol in spring (late May - early June). Several observers are placed at given points within the area and spend an hour listening to singing males to try to deduce an estimate of their number. The counting con...
