Local Knowledge Graph (40 entities)
Loading graph...
Knowledge graph centered on Pika occupancy sign surveys (Mammalia) with 40 nodes and 142 connections. Top connected: Unknown, climate change, Erigeron, Populus, Populus tremuloides.
Description
Standardized searches for fresh pika sign including visual and auditory detection of individuals and fresh food caches (haypiles) to determine current site occupancy. Sites without initial detection receive follow-up exhaustive searches.
Typical Equipment
- visual and auditory detection methods
- exhaustive talus searching methods
Output Measurements
- occupancy status
- presence/absence data
