Continental-scale assessment reveals inadequate monitoring for threatened vertebrates in a megadiverse country

2019-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Monitoring threatened species is essential for quantifying population trends, understanding causes of species' declines, and guiding the development and assessment of effective recovery actions. Here, we provide a systematic, continental-scale evaluation of the extent and quality of monitoring for threatened species, focussing on terrestrial and freshwater vertebrates in Australia. We found marked inadequacies: on...
