transect

Unlike line-transects, local ecological knowledge requires building trust between local communities and researchers—some of the scientists in Braga-Periera’s group have been working with these communities for over 15 years.

Line-transects involve dividing up a habitat into lines and often walking along these lines till animal populations are encountered.

The two birds from 12 miles north of Kalabakan were taken in a net stretched across a surveyor's transect.

Specimens from a transect of southeastern Sonora show intergradation between Perognathus goldmani and P. artus.

Each transect consists of 15 plots at intervals of 200 feet.
