The three-visit method with audio-stimulation was found to produce data of the same accuracy (100%, N = 11 territories) as the standard mapping method, but the nest-searching method and single-visit with audio-stimulation yielded slightly lower estimates, 91% and 82% respectively, in comparison to the previously mentioned methods. However, the three-visit method with audio-stimulation was 2.2 times less time consuming than the five visits which used the standard mapping method (9h vs 20h). The three-visit method with audio stimulation could be appropriate for assessing distribution and abundance, and also for monitoring purposes.}, type={Text}, title={Accuracy and efficiency of different techniques for censusing territorial middle spotted woodpeckers Dendrocopos medius}, volume={39}, number={1}, journal={Acta Ornithologica}, publisher={Museum & Institute of Zoology}, }
