Question

How many sites do I need to estimate multi-species occupancy of different pond types?​

Answer 1

Answer:

"In my proposed study area, I have identified four pond types: 1) Ephemeral (dries at least once per year), 2) Matrix (part of pond dries dries, but other part remains permanent), and 3) Permanent (has not dried). I have four of each pond type, totaling 12 ponds total. I will be sampling for the presence of fish, amphibians, and reptiles eight times each year across three years. I would like to assess how pond type influences the occupancy of certain species and how the presence of fish influence the occupancy of certain species."
