Description
The goal of this thesis was to develop innovative adaptive design methods for enhancing the effectiveness of ecological monitoring. This was demonstrated for monitoring the health of our coral reefs where new statistical methods were developed to collect highly informative data at reduced sampling costs when compared to current survey practices. These new methods are expected to encourage adaptive design approaches for reef/ecological monitoring in the future.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
