Fig. 3. Response of power to the number of sites as estimated using Monte Carlo simulations. In the figure, the number of sites is varied across the range, while the remaining sample effort parameters are kept fixed at minimum levels (sampling every five years, four point-count stations, and one survey). Species and community metric codes are as in Fig. 2. Species are listed from highest to lowest power within each group in the legend.
