Fig. 5. Response of power to the number of point-count stations as estimated using Monte Carlo simulations. In the figure, the number of point-count stations is varied across its range, while keeping the remaining sample effort parameters fixed at minimum levels (10 sites, sampling every five years, 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.
