Which flavor of sampling would you use? In this episode of Wildlife By The Numbers, Grant, Matt, and Randy have a conversation on the different flavors of sampling. They begin with random sampling, then move on to stratified sampling and two stage sampling. Finishing up this flavor fest of sampling with focus sampling. Examples in this episode include snails and warblers. They even talk a little bit about their earlier tomato garden examples.

In this episode of Wildlife By The Numbers, Matt, Grant, and Randy talk about the importance of bias and why it matters in wildlife work.Episode Quotes:"...different ways we can address bias and introduce this topic. How would you go about talking about bias and how we can explain it to listeners and help them understand the importance of bias and why it matters in their wildlife work?" "...layman's terms, bias is when you're reporting something that's really not valid because either your technique or your approach has provided answers that are no longer representative.""Some good examples of the availability is oftentimes related to the animal's activity patterns. And so during the time of the survey, for instance, let's say for snakes and mussels, they could actually just be simply underground, especially for some of those snakes. So they're not available to be detected at that time of the survey.""The reason we have to be attentive to both this idea of detection and availability is if we're not paying attention to it, we will get biased answers because we're not accounting for those prairie dogs that are in their burrows, and we're not accounting for these animals that are far away that we may not that are available that we just can't detect. And so we have to we have to figure so in wildlife surveys, we have to use techniques that will account for those factors and eliminate or minimize the chance that they'll cause bias in your final results.""What is a true zero versus what is a what is a false zero? And the way detection works is if you go to a site and you didn't observe that the individual was present at the time of the survey, is it due to the fact that it wasn't simply present, or was it some other reason why you were not able to observe it specifically?"Episode music: Shapeshifter by Mr Smith is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International License. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/https://freemusicarchive.org/music/mr-smith/studio-city/shapeshifter/
Delving into the significance of random sampling, hosts Matt, Grant, and Randy, use real-world examples to illustrate challenges associated with sampling, stressing the importance of random sampling for accurate representations of wildlife populations.Episode quotes"...my question for the group is, do you think, they can actually achieve their objectives with a sample size of one, with one transect inside a particular city. Do you think they can achieve that at the city scale?"" Inside that rectangle, they're placing, camera traps to monitor species richness across that gradient of habitat from the lowlands to the uplands.""...so to bring this home from where we began (referring back to episode 1), we had a garden with tomatoes in it, and now we have a city with wildlife in it. And so the garden area is is akin to our city area, and our the number of tomatoes in the garden that we wanna know the number of is is a parallel to the wildlife we want to sample in that city."

Hosts Matthew Butler, Grant Harris, and Randy Stewart set the stage for Wildlife by the Numbers emphasizing the importance of proper scientific approaches in wildlife ecology and sharing anecdotes to create awareness about the challenges and rewards of ecological research.Episode quotes:"Today, we're gonna talk about an issue that we often confront with biologists, particularly young biologists that are just getting into wildlife work and understanding statistics and science well, conservation science design of of studies, and that is random sampling and the importance of random sampling and why it matters. To help introduce this topic, we'll start with, a simple example, and then we'll get into more wildlife oriented issues. So for the simple example, I have a big garden, and it's large. It's it's an acre in size.""Okay. So now that we know we need to to sample, so to not count everything but parts of it, and we want those parts to be representative, how do we then get that representative sample? What do what procedure do we have to use to make sure that sample represents the population at large?""And so that's why we were talking about we wanna make sure that when we sample, we are doing it in a random way to account for the differences in number of tomatoes on each plant to make sure we have an accurate representation of the true count in that garden."Episode music: Shapeshifter by Mr Smith is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International License. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://freemusicarchive.org/music/mr-smith/studio-city/shapeshifter/

Salam, In this episode, i am talking about simple random sampling. Thanks,
Salam, In this episode, i am talking about the introduction to sampling techniques. There are two types of sampling techniques which are random sampling techniques and non random sampling techniques. In random sampling techniques, there are simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, and multistage sampling. Thanks,
