Longitude-dependent asteroid observation selection effects are caused by secular perturbations, which tend to align asteroid orbital axes with the orbit of Jupiter rather than the irregular geographic distribution of the observers, as well as by a variety of observing conditions, such as the declination and galactic latitude of the opposition point. These effects are presently examined and compared to statistical data on asteroid discoveries, identifications, and losses; they are found to exhibit a complex annual trend, with a total amplitude as high as 6:1. Attention is given to how the interplay of selection effects may account for such phenomena as the spurious presence of jet streams in asteroid families.
