Attraction points: A new sampling design method to quantify common finches’ population by Lorenzo Marazuela Pinela, Ángel Julián Martín Fernández, Pablo-Luis López-Espí

“…Consequently, its applicability is limited to other bird taxa with similar behavioural traits.The “Attraction Points Method” (APM), which uses the songs of live congeners, as described here, has been employed and evaluated in several projects for tracking finch populations in Spain, particularly in the Community of Madrid, where a continuous study of their populations has been conducted since 2018. The study was planned in three periods: the beginning and end of the breeding season (pre-nuptial and post-nuptial), and wintering, allowing for the calculation of survival, mortality and reproductive success ratios.This article presents the model, the results obtained from its application, and its advantages and disadvantages for the control and sustainable management of fringillid populations compared to other frequently used sampling models.…”
