Parameters
|
|
P
|
carcass detection probability: probability that an animal that has been killed by a rotor blade is found by a searcher |
A
|
proportion of carcasses lying in the search area: dependent on the spatial distribution of the carcasses and the search area |
S
|
daily carcass persistence probability: probability that a carcass remains in the area for 24 hours |
F
|
searcher efficiency: probability that a carcass lying in the search area is found by the searcher during one search |
