Challenges to biological diversity in urban areas. Pages 71 - 76 in Wilson, E.O. and F.M. Peter, Eds. In addition, there are six supporting manuals. Georeferenced units which are used as the basis for sampling, and may include geometric units, such as transects, quadrats or points, as well as ecological units, such as caves or colonies. This includes traditional wildlife range determination and habitat association inventories.
Species statusing enables prioritization of animal inventories and population monitoring.

Each observation will also include numerous types of information, such as species, sex, age class, activity, and morphometric information.
