Funded Activity Summary

Maximising the benefit of emerging technologies for ecological survey. This project aims to provide a framework for designing effective and efficient ecological surveys. Scientists, governments and conservation agencies rely on ecological surveys to inform their species management decision-making. Advances in survey methods may improve efficiency but they are risky until they are tested. This project aims to build a framework that optimally allocates resources among different survey methods over time. The framework would advance the theory of ecological survey design by addressing uncertainty in detection, and improve understanding of emerging methods such as eDNA sampling, drones and sniffer dogs. The project plans to use the framework to develop the best schedule for introducing new methods to four environmental management problems in Australia and the United States.
