摘要

The probability of detecting an individual or species is an important parameter in studies using mark-recaptureand occupancy models to estimate population sizes and occurrence. Because low detection probabilities result in biasedestimators and decreased precision, biologists seek methods that maximize detection probability. We evaluated whetherwe could increase detections of bird species by playing a tape of Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) mobbingcalls during point counts. We conducted trios of 10-minute counts (two pre-playback and a playback) at 684 stationsthroughout Vermont, in forested, agricultural/grassland, and developed habitats. For each of 73 species detected duringthe surveys, we used occupancy modeling and information-theoretic model selection and averaging methods to evaluatewhether detection probabilities varied due to playback or habitat type. Models containing a playback effect accounted forover 90% of the Akaike weights for 41 species. With 15 of these species, habitat effects also accounted for over 90% ofthe Akaike weights. The playback increased estimated detection probability in all habitats for 14 species, decreased estimateddetection probability for 20 species, and had an estimated effect that varied by habitat for 7 species (many specieswith habitat effects simply had differing magnitudes of the effect dependent on habitat). Smaller resident species were detectedmore often during tape playbacks, but responses were highly variable for most species and the responses did notappear to follow a taxonomic pattern. We encourage researchers to evaluate their list of target species carefully before decidingto use mobbing playbacks to enhance response rates; in many situations mobbing tapes will not enhance detectionsand may complicate the interpretation of model parameters.
