Abstract

Stratified sampling is a technique commonly used for ecological surveys. In this study there appears to be little gain in using a stratified design with adaptive cluster sampling. Two‐phase adaptive sampling is preferable to adaptive cluster sampling. Even though two‐phase adaptive sampling can give biased estimates, it is found that two‐phase adaptive sampling has a lower MSE than adaptive cluster sampling for most populations.
