Performance of unmarked abundance models with data from machine‐learning classification of passive acoustic recordings by Cameron J. Fiss, Samuel Lapp, Jonathan B. Cohen, Halie A. Parker, Jeffery T. Larkin, Jeffery L. Larkin, Justin Kitzes

“…Our findings were consistent across two species with differing relative abundance and habitat use patterns. The higher precision of models fit using ARU data is likely due to higher cumulative detection probability, which itself may be the result of greater survey effort using ARUs and machine‐learning classifiers to sample significantly more time for focal species at any given point. …”
