Pentad-scale distribution maps for bird atlas data

Authors

Les G Underhill
Michael Brooks

Abstract

The inference from these considerations is that maps on a pentad scale are desirable, and that reporting rates should be shown to represent approximate relative abundance, but reporting rates should only be shown for pentads which meet some minimum threshold for coverage, currently taken as four full-protocol checklists.
