Assessment of "Nondeclining" Amphibian Populations Using Power Analysis
Reed JM and Blaustein AR. 1995. Assessment of "Nondeclining" Amphibian Populations Using Power Analysis. Conservation Biology. 9(5):1299-1300
One of the most volatile controversies in conservation biology is whether or not amphibian populations are declining. There are only two reasons that declines would not be detected in a population study: either there was no decline, or there was inadequate statistical power to detect a decline that was actually present.
