Rare epiphytic orchids are host specific and growing in cluster form on individual host trees. What are the most suitable methods for sampling their population? their distribution according to several age-classes. Studies on this regard are most important to determining population growth and survival rates, to understand metapopulation dynamics, dispersal and habitat colonisation process etc.

Dear Kouschik,
It is the branche of the study , made by mathematical modeling, development of expert map for know the diversité & distribution of the species in some régions; and in many years.
see for exemple,

Distance sampling methods could be really useful for this species esp. as detection prob. likely varies widely across space with differences in vegetation/habitat. The issue may be how rare are they and can you get sufficient observations from lines to model detection functions. I have an example paper on plants on my page from last year.

And there is a lot of information and software for fitting detection functions and dealing with various issues etc- Badges
