CONT

For example, the abundance curve for many species, particularly passerines, drops in the middle of summer, not because the species is less abundant but because, beginning in July, it sings much less and is more difficult to spot.

CONT

On remarquera que la courbe de présence de plusieurs oiseaux, surtout les passereaux, diminue au milieu de l'été, non pas parce qu'ils deviennent moins abondants mais parce qu'ils chantent beaucoup moins à partir du mois de juillet et qu'ils deviennent alors plus difficiles à repérer.

OBS

Le terme «courbe d'abondance» est plus courant dans les documents français.
