Tinamou bibliography provided by David Bender. Many thanks to David. If you have additions please email the reference to me.
Below are links to several tinamou specific papers. Other papers listed in the above bibliography from the Auk, Condor, Wilson Bullettin or Studies in Avian Biology are available from Searchable Ornithological Research Archives (SORA). Additionally, a search of the archive will produce several avian community studies that include tinamous.
I have also included papers and links to free software related to proper field techniques, survey design, and data analysis for population estimation studies.

Below are some papers related to proper study design and data analysis in population estimation surveys.
Also here are links for Program MARK for analysis of population paramters using marked individuals, the program Distance used for the design and analysis of distance sampling surveys, and Program PRESENCE for estimating occupancy and abundance from repeated counts. These and many other ecological software packages are available from the Patuxent Wildife Research Center Software Archive.
