摘要

Standardized efforts to passively sample for upland snakes often result in low detection probabilities, yet this methodology is often used to determine differences in relative abundance. Estimating abundance of upland snakes using a model that incorporated detection probabilities did not generate useful results because detection rates were too low. These results indicate researchers interested in quantifying relative abundances of upland snakes should focus on increasing sampling efforts in an attempt to raise detection probabilities, regardless of the preferred analysis.
