The influence of survey error on measures of distributional consistency.

<p>For situations where groups of individuals can occupy sites (A), simulations of survey error indicate that distributional consistency DC scores will be influenced by less than 5%, even up to survey error rates of 80%. For territorial species presence/absence data (B), the degree of survey error affects measurement of DC, however this influence is highly predictable and can therefore be easily corrected for. Error bars are standard deviations.
