Abstract

Marques et al. (2017) write in response to a communications paper in which I (Hutto 2016) question whether a model-based approach is the only way to deal with the detectability problem inherent in bird survey work. The model-based approach to dealing with potential detectability bias is widely viewed as the operational gold standard, and I welcome the comments from experts in this field. The authors did uncover some errors on my part, which I address below, but they also misrepresented my most important points, so I am glad to have the opportunity to respond here. [1st paragraph]
